Having premiered in New York, PoppyPink is set to expand to other U.S. cities and around the world, inviting diverse communities to participate in this act of remembrance. Each location offers a new opportunity to connect audiences to the performance’s message, fostering global awareness and solidarity through shared experiences, including a universal stand against sex crimes used as weapons of war and for human rights.
We invite cultural and academic institutions to host and support future PoppyPink performances. Each location will feature a unique path, thoughtfully designed to reflect its context and audience.

PoppyPink is an ongoing, site-specific performance art project initially created to mark the one-year memorial of October 7th. The performance premiered in Central Park, New York, in October 2024. The artist wore a hand-knitted pink dress crafted by Haya Nir that unraveled as she walked, leaving a trail of pink thread symbolizing shared grief. It invites reflection on the collective impact of trauma and the ongoing journey of healing.

We pray for the healing of our people, for peace in the Middle East and the world.

The New England Memorial was founded by Stephan Ross and designed by Stanley Saitowitz. It consists of six glass towers that rise along a public walkway, engraved with numbers that reference Holocaust history. Steam emerges from underground chambers, creating a shifting atmosphere that changes with weather and light.
The structure is integrated into the city’s movement, allowing visitors to walk through it as part of their everyday path.
