  • Gabriele Mccombs
    Healing through Art By Gabrielle McCombs Intro This project is by no means comprehensive. It would take thousands of pages and years of research to fully examine and write a piece that would do justice to even the most prominent memorials and community art projects throughout the world. Additionally, this piece focuses on a few memorials and community art projects but neglects other forms of artistic healing (i.e. art therapy, prosthetics, and more). However, I am interested in the opportunity that memorials provide for remembrance of loved ones. Especially in situations in which it is impossible to recover and identify individuals who have been lost. I am also interested in the collective healing that can occur through memorials and community art projects. The following pages will touch on The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, Shoes on the Danube, the Freedom sculpture, Non-Violence (Knotted Gun), and Maya Lin’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Memorials Maya Lin’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial Since creating the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Maya Lin has designed the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama and the Yale University Women’s Table created to honor the first female students admitted to Yale. However, The Vietnam Veterans Memorial was her first designed memorial and arguably launched her successful career. She created the memorial at 21 years old as a project for her funeral architecture seminar. Her professor urged her to enter her design into the national design competition for the construction of a Vietnam Memorial. Her anonymous entry was selected from the 1,400 submissions, including her professor’s submission, and became the Vietnam Veterans Memorial we know today.

HUNGARY’S GRACEFUL AND INSPIRING CAPITAL Take in one of Europe’s great cultural capitals. Over the last few decades, Budapest has reemerged as one of the continent’s iconic cities, divided by the lilting Danube and connected by the graceful Chain Bridge.
