This exhibit will take place from 12-3pm and 5-9pm on Saturday, April 1st. Opening remarks will begin at 7:30pm.
Marc Fogel-- a 61-year-old history teacher from Pennsylvania who taught in Moscow at the Anglo-American School-- was taken into custody by Russian authorities in August 2021 and sentenced to 14 years in prison for the possession of medical marijuana. 80 Pittsburgh creatives and counting have committed to "Making a Marc" to shed light on Fogel and other detainees. As hostage negotiations are ongoing amidst Russia's war against Ukraine, the Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies invites the Pitt community to support this initiative by Pittsburgh's community of creatives. Artist Tom Mosser has been collaborating with Sasha Phillips, one of the Fogel family attorneys to make this day happen with the support of Marc's family.
