Landscape of our Memory
2026-09-16 13:00 - 2026-12-04 17:00 | Berrie Center
A haunting and original exhibition about the Holocaust by Prague artists Gabriela Bulisova and Mark Isaac.
Cosponsored and co-produced by the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and in collaboration with Stockton University.
The Landscape of our Memory is a long-term artistic project that addresses the “dispersed Holocaust” or “Holocaust by Bullets” by commemorating the more than 2 million individuals who were killed in or near their hometowns rather than in major extermination camps. Inspired by the work of academics studying the Environmental History of the Holocaust (a relatively new sub-field of Holocaust studies), the artists use multiple antique and contemporary strategies to, in the words of the late Austrian historian Martin Pollack, “restore the names, faces and stories” of those tragically lost. Initial work was created under the auspices of two Fulbright Scholar grants in Poland, but the project now includes commemorations of those who lost their lives at the Terezin transit camp in the Czech Republic and will soon expand to other locations, including sites in Ukraine and Slovakia. Because every artistic technique is deeply rooted in the landscape, the project has an important environmental sensibility and begins a conversation about the relationship between genocide and ecocide. The artists believe that this will better prepare us to avoid future genocides and ecocides, including the possible extinction of the human race as a result of war or the climate crisis.
This exhibition will be on view in the Kresge Gallery in the Berrie Center. An opening reception will be held Wednesday, September 16, from 5-7 P.M.
There will be an informal lecture by the artists about their careers on Thursday, 12:30 P.M. in the Adler Theater.

Rachel Feinstein
2026-10-02 19:30 - 21:00 | Sharp Theater, Berrie Center for the Arts, 505 Ramapo Valley Road, Mahwah, NJ, 07430, United States
For audiences 18 years and older. Contains adult content.

Actress and Comedian Rachel Feinstein is a favorite among fans and fellow comedians alike. Named one of Variety’s “10 Comics To Watch” of 2024, her Netflix standup special Big Guy premiered in May 2024 on the streamer’s list of Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. where it remained for over a week. The hour invites viewers into Rachel’s delightfully chaotic life as the wife of a firefighter, a mother, and a comedian. In the words of her 3-year-old daughter, “my daddy’s a hero and my mommy’s sarcastic.” Rachel explores her marriage to a first responder who is also married to his firehouse family and unpacks what it’s like to navigate emotional intimacy with someone whose job it is to save people’s lives. Chock full of her signature “amazing impersonations” (Vulture), Big Guy endears us to the loveable hodgepodge of characters in Rachel’s world.
Feinstein appeared on Comedy Central’s hit series Inside Amy Schumer and she won a WGA Award for “Best Comedy/Variety Sketch Series” for her work on the most recent season of the show on Paramount+. She was featured on Comedian Colin Quinn’s HBO pandemic special Colin Quinn & Friends: A Parking Lot Comedy Show as well as comedy superstar Chris Rock’s feature film Top Five. Her half hour special premiered on Netflix’s hit series The Standups and her first hour special Only Whores Wear Purple premiered on Comedy Central.
Feinstein was featured alongside Amy Schumer in Hulu’s hit series Life & Beth and she recurred on Amazon’s critically acclaimed Steven Soderbergh series Red Oaks as well as Judd Apatow’s HBO comedy Crashing. She also appeared in the role of “Anne Frank” in Netflix’s Historical Roasts.
On the big screen, Rachel was seen in the feature films Trainwreck and I Feel Pretty. She has also lent her voice to Adult Swim’s Venture Brothers and the phenomenally successful GRAND THEFT AUTO video game franchise. She is a fan favorite on the late-night circuit with multiple appearances on HBO’s Last Week Tonight, CBS’s The Late Late Show with James Corden, and NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Disguise, deception, desire are front and center in this comic tale of love and language. Banished to the enchanted Forest of Arden, the witty and courageous Rosalind disguises herself as a man to navigate a world of romantic role-playing and unexpected love. This pastoral comedy turns the tables on tradition, using clever banter and charming deception to explore gender, identity, and the foolishness of love. This production is part of Play On Shakespeare, which commissions new translations and supports productions of “The Bard” in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare’s verse.
