23.70.25 Homage to Dominique de Menil and her lifelong commitment to love for Humanity and Social Justice, February 26 1998 We would like to share the highlights of the story of our relationship with Dominique, and how she touched us personally as well as the life of our Institute. Our first contact with me de Menil was in 1973 when following her personal invitation the Intercultural Institute of Montreal then called Monchanin Center) participated in the Rothko Chapel Interfaith Symposium on Traditional Modes of Contemplation and Action. In 1976 she layed the foundation that made it possible to acquire the two buildings that have been housing our Institute since then. Had it not been for her financial help, we would have been out in the street at a very critical moment of our existence. From 1976 to 1989, she supported the Institute yearly, through donations, coming either from the Menil Foundation, the Rothko Chapel or from her person. In 1982, upon her invitation, we collaborated closely with her in the great event of Human rights awards at the Rothko Chapel. In 1984, we were graced by her personal visit to the Institute. In 1991, she layed the cornerstone of an endowment fund for our Institute. It was accompanied by a letter with this note: “You have given life to a vital institution which fights against everything that threatens our contemporary world: division between ethnic groups, classes, religions, languages, mentalities, erosion of ancestral structures and the failure of economic projects full of hope. Everything has to be thought anew and rebuilt. Only that which will be done with intelligence and love will have some chance to succeed. All my friendship and admiration, Dominique de Menil” These words speak eloquently her love for us and her faith in us. They continue to strengthen our resolve to pursue our work. May the future generations never lose sight of all that Dominique de Menil has done for the Intercultural Institute of Montreal and for us all, and with so much care and love!
