CARA ART AUCTION 5 December 2013
I donated this painting, from a choice of 3, to the auction.
It was small enough to travel to London in my suitcase!

CARA was established in 1933 by Sir William Beveridge and other key figures
of the day to rescue academics being persecuted under the rise of Nazism and Fascism across Europe and enable them to continue their work in safety. Those helped in the 1930s and 40s were an extraordinary group from across the disciplines, including Nikolaus Pevsner, Ernst Krebs, Karl Popper, Max Born, Max Perutz, Ernst Gombrich, Karl Mannheim and Sigmund Freud. Eighteen went on to become Nobel Laureates and over 100 were elected as Fellows of the Royal Society and British Academy, leaving an extraordinary legacy. CARA’s work has continued over the decades, responding as and when world events place academics in danger: Hungarian Uprising, apartheid South Africa, Latin American Junta, Former Yugoslavia and, more recently, Sudan, Iraq, Zimbabwe and Syria, amongst others. Since 2006, in parallel with its core rescue mission, CARA has been working to sustain dedicated academics in crisis-affected countries. Working in partnership with 95 universities that make up the CARA Scholars at Risk UK Universities Network, it aims to promote and defend academic freedom and provide practical support to persecuted academics. Council for Assisting Refugee Academics is a UK Charity No. 207471 |
