Dwell Time: A Memoir of Art, Exile, and Repair ALOUD @ Los Angeles Public Library

Renowned art conservator Rosa Lowinger reveals in her beautiful memoir Dwell Time a journey of her difficult childhood in Miami growing up among people whose losses in the Cuban revolution, and earlier by the decimation of family in the Holocaust, clouded all family life. Through Lowinger’s relentless clear-eyed efforts to be the best practitioner possible, while squarely facing her fraught personal and work relationships, she comes to terms with her identity as Cuban and Jewish, American and Latinx.
Lowinger was in conversation with L.A. Times’s art and design columnist Carolina A. Miranda.
