Alfred Tibor: Hatred Doesn’t Work is an exhibition of small-scale sculptures and maquettes by 95-year-old local sculptor Alfred Tibor, an inspirational central Ohio sculptor and Holocaust survivor. He endured captivity as a Russian POW and other atrocities, surviving because he was able to draw portraits of his captors. Tibor’s artwork is found in nearly 500 private collections and museums worldwide.

Tibor emerged a positive, gentle soul with the desire to spread his personal motto, “Hatred Doesn’t Work,” which is preserved and delivered unforgettably in his own voice through augmented reality experiences within the exhibition.
