NYC PREMIERE After Marvin Heiferman lost his husband, art historian Maurice Berger, he began capturing photographs and posting them on social media to work through his grief. His deeply personal visual diary evolves into an unexpected online community, revealing how art can transform loss into connection, comfort, and shared healing. – Karen McMullen
