Adina Langer ’06 says her time at Oberlin nurtured her intellectual curiosity. It also connected the creative writing major with Sheena Ramirez ’06, a soprano who studied voice performance. In fact, the pair met when both were first-years living in Dascomb Hall. Two decades after this meeting, the pair have continued to collaborate in meaningful ways—both at Oberlin and beyond.
In 2020, Langer and Ramirez started working on a large-scale project that resulted in a museum exhibition, Words, Music, Memory: (Re)presenting Voices of the Holocaust, now on display in the first floor gallery of the Mary Church Terrell Main Library.
The 10-panel traveling exhibition memorializes the poetry and diary excerpts of people who experienced the Holocaust—some who survived and others who perished—through music, composition, and performance. Learn more about the pair’s collaboration at the link in bio.
