The walls of the Jewish Museum are brightened with film, photography and never before seen archival material. The exhibit covers the personalities in Mekas’s life that defined the era as well as personal recounts of his experience as a Lithuanian wartime refugee who fled the Nazi regime and ended up in New York in 1949. Experimental and innovative, Mekas was a pioneer in shaping the eccentricity of New York that we now know and love. The exhibit serves as an homage to Mekas’s beautiful 70-year career.
