Any museums interested in a show about the parallels between the Holocaust and current immigrant experience?
Hi. I am a Boston-based artist and daughter of a Holocaust survivor. I recently created an art show called Material Witness, which was exhibited in the Boston area in May 2025, and I am looking for additional venues in which to exhibit it. I
have created a PDF with examples from the show. If interested, please send a note to nancymarks31@gmail.com.
Material Witness is a dialogue in print and poetry, an unearthing of the fragile bridge between past and present. It is born from my experience as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor and delves into my mother's harrowing girlhood in Nazi-occupied France. Crucially, it confronts the chilling parallels between her ordeal in the 1940s and the realities faced by immigrants today. The heart of this exhibition lies in my mother's memoir, Me in Bits and Pieces, penned in her eighties. It recounts her life in Nice and the terror of the Holocaust, which forced her into hiding at age 14 with her four-year-old brother. During this time, my grandparents navigated the risky paths of the Partisan Underground.
