The exhibition features illustrations in which the artist continues her long-standing reflections on her identity.
Inspired by the phrase “my body is my temple,” she has created a series of illustrations where tattoo aesthetics collide with traditional decorations of the bimah – a raised platform in a synagogue, often adorned with a canopy or dome. Carved, polychromed beams, columns, and balustrades are to the artist like clavicles, hips, and feet – elements of a structure whose meaning is revealed only when viewed as a whole. The narrative also includes the artist’s memories of her family home and childhood in Siberia. The comic-like series was prepared specifically for this occasion.
The exhibition will be open from June 23 to July 7, 2024.
The event is co-organized with the Comics Museum in Krakow.
The 8th edition of FestivALT is made possible thanks to the support of the Matanel Foundation and the Dutch Jewish Humanitarian Fund and it is organized as part of the "MultiMemo: Multidirectional Memory: Remembering for Social Justice" project, thanks to the support of the European Union under the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) program.
