the power of resilience and hope: photography and the holocaust – then & now
cepa gallery, buffalo, ny 2024
This exhibit presents a comprehensive visual art exhibition that investigates ways in which photo-based imagery is utilized to shape cultural narratives and re-examine history. It assesses photography’s fluctuating role in documenting, interpreting and understanding the Holocaust.
My series of monoprints, created for the opera “Lost Childhood” by composer Janice Hamer, is informed by a pre-WWII photograph of my Czech family – my aunt Antonia, her husband Marton and their son Fredy, who were murdered in Auschwitz. I interpreted these images to document a landscape of absence, loss and fragmentation.
