SUMMARY:Doremus Scudder\, Humanscapes: Old World and New  Photographs from Vienna and the American West
DESCRIPTION:Doremus Scudder\, Humanscapes: Old World and New  Photographs from Vienna and the American West \nArtist Talk on July 17th 2:30 PM\nEmerald Arts Center\n500 Main Street Springfield\, OR \nJuly 1 to August 4th 2022\nReception on July 1st 5pm to 6pm \nDot Dotson’s Gallery\n1668 Willamette Street\nEugene\, OR\n541-485-1771\n11:30 am to 5:30 pm Monday – Thursday\n(Reception only on Friday July 1st)\nhttps://www.dotdotsons.com/ \nOpen to the public \nDoremus Scudder’s aesthetic vision finds uncommon emotional and spiritual depth\, transcending the merely representational to reveal universalities that resonate within us. To him\, the function of art is to enrich\, inspire and uplift the human spirit. It is to this end that he strives through the ultimate expressiveness of black-and-white photography. \nDoremus Scudder began photographing seriously in his early twenties\, working originally with small and medium format\, eventually stepping up to\, and mastering the techniques associated with\, the larger format view camera. After moving with his wife to Vienna\, Austria to study at the renowned Vienna Academy of Music\, he has built a career as an operatic baritone\, appearing often as operatic soloist throughout Europe and the United States. In addition\, his passion for photography has developed into a flourishing second career that affords him the opportunity to travel extensively in search of images. He now actively pursues both photography and music. \nDoremus Scudder works exclusively in black-and-white\, using large-format cameras and film\, and hand-crafts silver gelatin prints in the darkroom using traditional photographic techniques. Nothing is done using digital technology. Although color photography was once a large part of his commercial work\, his personal vision has always been manifested through the photographic instrument he deems most expressive: Black-and-White. \nWithin this medium\, he uses varied subject matter\, careful organization of the subject\, and a broad and expressive palette of tonalities to create compelling images of strong form\, character and content. For Doremus\, the function of art is to enrich and uplift the human spirit through excellence and beauty: it is to this end that he strives. The photographs themselves are their own best description\, expressing their wordless world powerfully and eloquently. They are able to be appreciated on many levels\, being rich in immediate impact as well as yielding ever more profundity and detail over time. \nDoremus Scudder’s work is exhibited widely and represented in numerous galleries and private collections throughout the United States and Europe. \nDoremus can be contacted at info@DoremusScudder.com \nwww.DoremusScudder.com

SUMMARY:Rich Bergeman and Kurt Norlin\, From Fire and Light
DESCRIPTION:Rich Bergeman and Kurt Norlin\, From Fire and Light \nJune 24 through Aug. 5\, 2022\nArtists reception Friday July 15\, 5:30-8pm \nThe Rogue Gallery & Art Center\n40 S. Bartlett St.\, Medford\, OR\n541-772-8118\nwww.roguegallery.org\nOpen 10am-5pm Tuesday through Friday; 11am-3pm Saturday \nLong-time Oregon photographers Rich Bergeman and Kurt Norlin are teaming up for an exhibit at the Rogue Gallery in downtown Medford called “From Fire and Light” from June 24 to Aug. 5. \nA reception is planned for Friday\, July 15\, from 5:30 to 8pm. \nThe two photographers have been friends and colleagues for more than 30 years\, although their photographic styles have evolved in different directions over time. Both taught photography at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany\, OR\, from the 1980s until each retired about 15 years ago. \nNorlin\, a resident of Albany\, will be showing a collection of abstract black-and-white and color images created over the past five years that evoke a spiritual connection with the land. Norlin photographs with his iPhone\, skillfully employing a technique called ICM\, or intentional camera movement\, to create impressionistic images. “This has allowed me to use the camera in a fluid way to create images that have more to do with incorporating time\, movement and impressions rather than descriptive fact\,” Norlin explains. \nBergeman\, who lives in nearby Corvallis\, is showing a body of work begun during the pandemic that explores the expressionistic patterns created by clouds when photographed with an infrared camera. \n“While my so-called ‘travels’ were restricted to walking around the neighborhood\, I began to admire the high\, feathery cirrus clouds overhead\,” Bergeman recalls. “I discovered that when photographed in infrared\, I could isolate these sometimes faint patterns against a pitch-black sky and dramatize their shapes\, lines and movement.” \nPhotographer Kurt Norlin grew up in a family of artists. He earned a Master of Arts degree from Central Washington University in 1974\, and a second Masters at the University of Oregon. He has served as a photography instructor for Oregon State University\, Linn-Benton Community College and the University of Oregon Malheur Workshops\, and for several years curated the art galleries at LBCC. \nA retired instructor of photography and journalism at LBCC\, Bergeman has been exhibiting his photography throughout the Northwest since the 1980s. Originally a large-format film photographer and darkroom printer in silver and platinum\, he currently works primarily with digital infrared cameras and archival pigment printers. \n

SUMMARY:Dorothea Lange: A Visual Life\, film presented by Photography At Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Dorothea Lange: A Visual Life\, film presented by Photography At Oregon \nJune 24\nDoors open at 6:30pm;  Movie starts at 7:00pm;\nOne night showing \nNewZone Gallery\n110 E 11th Ave\nEugene\, Oregon 97401\n541-686-1240\nwww.photographyatoregon.org \nfree to the public\, donations accepted \nDorothea Lange: A Visual Life brings to life five decades of the changing face of 20th century America\, viewed through the lens of one of its most eloquent photographers. The film sets Lange’s evocative photographs and recorded conversations against contemporary interviews with family and colleagues\, creating an intimate portrait of this extraordinary and complex photographer. (46 minutes) \nHer Contribution to the democratic ideal:\nI have come to think of Lange as a photographer of democracy\, and for democracy. Her career developed when the severe economic depression of the 1930s created a political opening for expanding and deepening American democracy. Despite the miseries and fear it engendered\, the Depression created a moment of idealism\, imagination\, and unity in Americans’ hopes for their country. No photographer of the time\, perhaps no artist of the time\, did more than Lange to advance this democratic vision. Her photographs enlarged the popular understanding of who Americans were\, providing a more democratic visual representation of the nation. Lange’s America included Mormons\, Jews\, and evangelicals; farmers\, sharecroppers\, and migrant farmworkers; workers domestic and industrial\, male and female; citizens and immigrants not only black and white but also Mexican\, Filipino\, Chinese\, and Japanese\, notably the 120\,000 Japanese Americans locked in internment camps during World War II. Late in life her democratic eye reached beyond the United States\, as she photographed in Egypt\, Japan\, Indonesia\, and many other parts of the developing world. There too her focus was democratic: she photographed primarily working people through her lens of respect for their labor\, skills\, and pride. \nTaken from Lori Oden writing for IPHF (International Photography Hall of Fame)\nhttps://iphf.org/inductees/dorothea-lange/ \nPhotography At Oregon\nOur Mission is to support the area’s photography teaching programs. It has done so for more than 50 years promoting the fine art of photography\, sponsoring exhibits\, lectures\, classes\, and workshops\, inviting photographers of national and international reputation\, and showing works of historical importance.\nPhotography at Oregon is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit nonmember all volunteer art education support organization.

SUMMARY:Man Ray – A Kultur Films movie:  Artists of the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:Man Ray – A Kultur Films movie:  Artists of the 20th Century \nMay 27;  Doors open at 6:30pm;  Movie starts at 7:00pm; \nNewZone Gallery\n110 E 11th Ave\nEugene\, Oregon 97401\n541-686-1240\nOne night showing\nwww.photographyatoregon.org \nfree to the public\, donations accepted \nKultur Films has produced this movie and calls it the quintessential avant-garde artist of the 20th Century. It’s a kind of narrated slide show with a detailed discussion of his works through a comprehensive presentation of his art. This documentary adds a full biography\, which includes his influences and contribution to dadaist and surrealist thinking of the time. \nBorn in Philadelphia in 1890 and raised in Brooklyn\, Emmanuel Radnitsky\, later known as Man Ray\, was always determined to become an artist. While he attended a boy’s school in Brooklyn\, he educated himself with frequent visits to the local art museums\, where he studied the works of the Old Masters. He began his fifty year career as a painter and designer and soon expanded to collage\, printmaking\, photography\, object-making\, sculpture and film. \nTo earn a living while pursuing the more iconoclastic work that he loved\, he took portrait and fashion photographs\, eventually becoming the most celebrated commercial photographer in Paris. He came into his own in the 1920’s when he joined his good friend and Dadaist advocate\, Marcel Duchamp in Paris. He soon became a significant contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements. \nMan Ray actually produced major works in a variety of media but was best known for his pioneering photography\, in particular as a renowned fashion and portrait photographer. While living in New York City\, Man Ray was influenced by the avant-garde practices of European contemporary artists and in visits to Alfred Stieglitz’s “291” art gallery. He eventually involved himself with the Dada anti-art movement and started creating objects and developed unique mechanical and photographic methods of making images. \nHis experiments with photography included rediscovering how to make “cameraless” pictures\, or photograms\, which he called rayographs. He made them by placing objects directly on light-sensitive paper\, which he exposed to light and developed. In 1922 a book of his collected rayographs\, Les Champs délicieux (“The Delightful Fields”)\, was published\, with an introduction by the influential Dada artist Tristan Tzara who admired the enigmatic quality of Man Ray’s images. In 1929\, with his lover\, photographer and model Lee Miller\, Man Ray also experimented with the technique calledsolarization\, which renders part of a photographic image negative and part positive by exposing a print or negative to a flash of light during development. He and Miller were among the first artists to use the process\, known since the 1840s\, for aesthetic purposes. \nAs mentioned above\, Man Ray also pursued fashion and portrait photography and made a virtually complete photographic record of the celebrities of Parisian cultural life during the 1920s and ’30s. Many of his photographs were published in magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar\, Vu\, and Vogue. He continued his experiments with photography through the genre of portraiture; for example\, he gave one sitter three pairs of eyes\, and in Le Violon d’Ingres (1924) he photographically superimposed sound holes\, or f holes\, onto the photograph of the back of a female nude\, making the woman’s body resemble that of a violin. He also continued to produce ready-mades. One\, a metronome with a photograph of an eye fixed to the pendulum\, was called Object to Be Destroyed (1923)—which it was by anti-Dada rioters in 1957. \n

SUMMARY:Jim Schomaker\,  Tree Skeletons – Beachie Creek Fire
DESCRIPTION:Jim Schomaker\,  Tree Skeletons – Beachie Creek Fire \nThe show runs from May 7 through May 28\, 2022\nThere will be an artist reception on Saturday\, May 7 from 3:00 to 6:00 \nElsinore Framing & Fine Art Gallery\n444 Ferry St.  SE  Salem OR  97301\n503-581-4642\nelsinoregallery@outlook.com\nElsinore hours  M-F 9:00 – 6:00\nSat. 10:00 – 5:00 \n  \nI had been photographing this area\, Elkhorn Valley/ N. Fork Rd along the Little North Santiam\nRiver\, for the last 14 years and thought it very unique and beautiful. Each year I looked forward\nto returning in the Spring\, being sure things would look a little different after the Winter rains and could capture something with a new look. \nThen came the “Beachie Creek Fire” in August 2020. It was almost two months after the fire was\nout before I could bring myself to view the burned area. Shocking devastation for miles and miles.\nI slowly started to photograph a few burned areas even as dead trees adjacent to the roads were being cut\, or were marked (red X’s) to be cut\, post burn. \nAfter returning a second time I found myself being more selective in what my images looked like\nand realized I could still see and find beauty in a perverse sort of way. As a landscape photographer\nfor 40 years that becomes ingrained in the way you see things. So I relaxed and decided to keep\nseeing and photographing this way. As you look at these images\, I’m hoping you see the beauty in\nthe photographers vision in spite of the fires devastation. \nYou will probably notice that some of the trees\, mostly Alders (whitish & grey) as well as some mosses and lichens survived due to high water content. A number of these photographs were taken across the river resulting in large near trees and much smaller background trees. \nConsidering my particular nature\, I have printed my own photographs herein. \njimschomaker@comcast.net

I has a hauntingly beautiful quality that can\, if used with restraint\, transform otherwise ordinary views of the land\, sea and sky into magical scenes.” \nIn a free presentation on Saturday\, May 7\, at 11am\, Bergeman will discuss the history and contemporary applications of infrared photography\, and demonstrate techniques of creating and processing black-and-white images with digital cameras converted to capture the infrared spectrum. \nA retired instructor of photography and journalism at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany\, OR\, Bergeman has been exhibiting his photography throughout the Northwest since the 1980s. Originally a large-format film photographer and darkroom printer in silver and platinum\, he currently works primarily with digital infrared cameras and archival pigment printers. \n

SUMMARY:Amelia Bjesse Puffin\, Skating Is For Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Amelia Bjesse Puffin\, Skating Is For Everyone \nMarch 30th through June 30th\nOpening: Evening of April 29th 7 – 9 PM \nSee See Motor Coffee in St Johns\n8811 N Lombard St\, Portland\, OR 97203\n(971) 242-8927\nOpen 8 to 3pm every day\nhttps://www.seeseemotorcycles.com/pages/see-see-motor-coffee-co \nPhotography impacts how we see and experience the world. Most skateboarders are men\, and most images we see of skaters are of men\, and maybe the occasional tokenized women. There is nothing biologically special about men that makes them more likely to pick up or stick with skating. The barriers are cultural. That means they can be dismantled. By placing large scale images of skaters who are not cis-men in spaces shared by skaters and non-skaters\, this show seeks to increase representation\, and to chip away at the skate scene’s patriarchal culture. \nThe photos in this show each feature a different nontraditional skater. Most were shot at Pier Park in St Johns. They were taken using a variety of analogue cameras\, including Canon AE-1\, reloadable-disposable cameras\, an Olympus Pen FT\, and more. A bonus mini exibit of instant photos is included\, featuring skaters from an event hosted by Queer Skate PDX. Skaters posed with their friends\, and decorated each instant shot with messages of justice and empowerment. Their energy and their words are a gift to us all. \nwww.smashtheskatriarchy.com \n

That would presume an aging Philodendron can be reflective as an old man facing his end. \nBut as I wander through the quiet muse of a redwood grove or observe the blanket of canopy embracing an old bridge\, I find myself sharing with them an awareness: That we are each of us a life possessed\, one brief moment trailing in the sweep of infinite time and space. \nThese photographs\, a work in progress\, are about more than seeing a tree or a leaf. They are about seeing ourselves\, in connection with the world around us. They are portraits; profiles of community\, of family\, of souls wrapped in the fleeting grace of being. \nAnd I believe they are aware of that single moment they inhabit\, as we\, too\, should be. And that in each of these images there exists a willfulness of being – a life aware of itself. \nLook for it. You’ll see.” \nMZ Taylor \nThis is Michael’s first exhibit at the O’Brien Photo Gallery in Eugene. He has also shown works at the PhotoZone Gallery\, the NewZone Gallery Downtown\, Dr. Don Dexter’s Gallery and has been interviewed on KLCC’s “Viz City” program. He is the Coordinator and Facilitator at the PhotoZone Gallery\, active board member at Photography at Oregon\, and a participant in the Eugene Grid Project from 2018 to 2020. Working exclusively in black and white until the introduction of digital\, he has been making photographs off and on since the 1960’s. He has recently re-discovered film and has been especially interested in infrared film. \nMichael’s website: https://www.mztphotography.com

All the sounds and prints were recorded and photographed while the creator\, Fernando Valls\, was living in Albania recording sound for other film projects. The experience is akin to a short film where the cinematography has been replaced with still photographs. A walk through the old barge building of Zidell Yards\, which is usually inaccessible to the public\, is worth the trip on its own and serves as a perfect backdrop to fully envelope the audience as you make your way through the installation. \n

In the downstairs gallery\, Robbie McClaran exhibits “The Great River of the West”. Beginning in 2013\, and working with an antique eight-by-ten large format camera\, Robbie McClaran photographed along the entire 1250-mile length of the Columbia River\, from its source in British Columbia to its confluence with the Pacific Ocean. “The Great River of the West”\, explores the River’s current cultural and economic landscape as well as environmental alterations. The prints in the exhibit are all silver gelatin contact prints\, handprinted from the original negatives. This project has been supported by grants from the Oregon Arts Commission\, the Ford Family Foundation and the Regional Arts and Culture Council. \nUpstairs in the gallery Ken Hochfeld opens two exhibits with the Columbia River as their subject. “Pages: The Majestic Columbia River”\, celebrates the majesty of the Columbia River with photographs that recognize its significance while remembering it as an existential heritage of those who were here long before the first settlers arrived. In “Small Communities of the Lower Columbia River” Ken begins to examine the places and the people who live there. The communities of the Lower Columbia on the Oregon side along Highway 30 and on the Washington side near Highway 4 west of Longview\, are photographed for there character and history. \nAdditionally\, downstairs in the gallery\, photographer and retired scientist Pat Welle explores native habitats of the Columbia River Estuary that runs 146 miles from Bonneville Dam east to the Pacific Ocean. It is a critical\, final reach for migrating Pacific Salmon – and undammed and tidally-influenced stretch where salmon feed\, grow\, and adapt to a salt-water environment. There is a rich history here and human influences have significantly reduced salmon habitats. This image collection explores these complex estuary habitats\, and the people and projects working to restore them. \nLightBox opens these shows on Saturday\, April 9th with extended hours from Noon-7pm. Complete show info is on the LightBox website at http://lightbox-photographic.com/shows/. Contact LightBox at 503-468-0238 or info@lightbox-photographic.com.

SUMMARY:Transcendent Portraiture photography workshop with Fritz Liedtke
DESCRIPTION:Transcendent Portraiture photography workshop with Fritz Liedtke \nApril 5-22\, 2022\nTuesdays and Thursdays 11:30-1:30\nOnline Photography Workshop\n$595.00\nhttps://santafeworkshops.com/product/transcendent-portraiture/ \nPortland photographer and artist Fritz Liedtke will be leading Transcendent Portraits\, a photography workshop hosted by Santa Fe Workshops in April. \nGreat portraiture is about more than the right lens and the right lighting. It’s about having a vision and connecting with your subject to make images that transcend the simple headshot. In this workshop you will fine-tune your vision and technique to approach portraiture like an artist\, and create gorgeous\, surprising\, beautiful\, atmospheric images. \nFine-art and commercial photographer Fritz Liedtke leads you first through the “why” of portraiture and then through the “how to” as we explore—and learn from—the work of master artists. In addition to learning how to develop an authentic rapport with your subjects\, you discover ways of posing and lighting them to look their best. \nThrough live instructor demonstrations and discussions\, we will cover multiple methods for finding people to photograph\, directing and posing our subjects\, working with natural light (and modifying it to your advantage)\, working with artificial lighting\, and combining the two. Demonstrations also include post-processing of images to create the final look you originally envisioned. In this way\, you understand the complete process of creating gorgeous portraits\, from start to finish. \nLocal participants may be able to attend the live photo shoot demonstrations in person. \nWeekly assignments help you gain fluidity and confidence in your work\, and by experimenting with portraiture post-processing\, you accentuate the mood\, feel\, and style that best expresses your vision. You finish the workshop with new experience and insights—not to mention stunning images you can be proud of. \nThis online class runs April 5-22\, 2022\, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30-1:30. \nSee more of Fritz’s fine art and commercial photography work. \n

SUMMARY:Susie Morrill and Glen Newland at The Midtown
DESCRIPTION:Susie Morrill and Glen Newland \nMarch 14th through April 30th\, 2022\nOpening reception on April 2nd from 3pm to 5pm. \nThe Midtown\n1600 Pearl St\, Eugene\nEugene\, OR 97401\n8am to 6pm 7 days a week\nphotozonegallery.com \nThe PhotoZone Gallery presents a group exhibition by the PhotoZone membership as well as photographs by our two featured artists Susie Morrill and Glen Newland. \nThe exhibition takes place at The Midtown\, 1600 Pearl St\, Eugene\, OR 97401. The show is available for viewing 8am to 6pm 7 days a week. The Midtown is a beautiful new venue for art exhibitions and is the home of the Eugene Ballet and many other arts organizations. \nOur featured artists both explore images with important messages of social commentary. \nSusie Morrill’s body of work is from her trips to Cuba that began in 2011. She says\, “My work explores the humanity of the people and their human condition. The upper- and middle-class citizens manage in a troubled economic system\, but the lower income people really struggle. The American embargo seriously impacts the Cuban people. Despite their lack of resources\, the Cuban people remain a proud\, hardworking\, and happy people. To know Cuba is to love it.” \nGlenn Newland is our other featured artist. About his series “Invisible\,” Newland says “The most compelling subject (from my perspective) is my fellow humans\, as they portray themselves to\, and interact with\, the world around them. Sometimes the people I photograph have been marginalized by the people around them and/or the culture and the society of which they are an integral part. Ideally my images respect the dignity of the subject while revealing some truth.” \nThe PhotoZone Gallery is a diverse group of individuals dedicated to exhibiting fine art photography. This includes traditional and alternative processes that run the gamut of subject matter from experimental\, to straight landscape imagery\, to documentary photography. \n

The resulting portraits and narratives provide a nuanced view into the struggles and joys of growing older as a transgender person and offer a poignant reflection on what it means to live authentically despite seemingly insurmountable odds. \nTo Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Older Adults is an exhibition organized by Barrett Barrera Projects.

SUMMARY:Sandi T. O’Brien - In Memoriam\, After the Holiday Farm Fire at The O’Brien Photo Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Sandi T. O’Brien\, In Memoriam\, After the Holiday Farm Fire \nMarch 14 through April 15.\nReception on March 19 from 11:00 to 4:00. \nThe O’Brien Photo Gallery\n2833 Willamette\, Ste. B.\nEugene\, OR. 97405\n(541) 729-3572\nOpen weekdays from 1:00 to 5:00 pm. Call to be sure we’re open.\nEmail:  picmac1945@gmail.com\nWebsite: https://www.waltobrien.net/the-o-brien-photo-gallery \nThe “In Memoriam” show is meant as a way to honor\, not just the Delta Campground nature trail but\, all those sacred spaces that mean so much to people who go there to refresh their spirits. Fire decimated many such places and this project was part of my grieving process. \nI first discovered the little ½ mile nature walk at the Delta Campgrounds in September of 2017. I was spending a weekend with a couple of friends on a “girls’ weekend” at a cabin on the McKenzie River. We looked for an easy hike and I\, as always\, took my cameras. The campground was closed\, due to the fires near Cougar Reservoir so we had to walk in and while walking the loop\, we discovered the nature trail. Despite the fact that the air was full of smoke\, I was entranced\, such a quiet magic place! What normally would have been a 15-20 minute walk took an hour at least as I photographed with digital infrared and my iPhone camera. Despite the smoke\, I left rejuvenated. \nOver the last few years\, I have returned time and again to photograph this spot during different seasons\, always coming away with a sense of peace and some beautiful photos as a bonus. My last trip\, January of 2021\, was a sad one\, as it was after the Holiday Farm Fire that engulfed much of the forest on the McKenzie River banks. My heart hurt for the residents of the area that had lost\, in some instances\, everything. I felt that we needed to go witness the devastation for ourselves. I was afraid of what I would find when we went to Delta Campground. My fears were confirmed. It was cold and the road to the campground was closed. These are all of the photos that I could manage before sadly turning back to the car to go home. \nIn the spring I will head up there again to witness the forest’s renewal. \nhttps://www.sanditobrien.com/artwork.

SUMMARY:The Immigrant Story\, To Bear Witness – Extraordinary Lives
DESCRIPTION:The Immigrant Story\, To Bear Witness – Extraordinary Lives \nThrough May 15\, 2022 \nOregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education\n724 NW Davis Street\nPortland\, OR 97209\nPhone: 503.226.3600\nWednesday – Saturday: 11am – 4pm \nProof of Covid-19 vaccination is required for all visitors 18 years and older and masks are required for all visitors 2 years and older\, regardless of vaccination status. \nThe Immigrant Story: https://theimmigrantstory.org/to-bear-witness-extraordinary-lives/ \nThe Immigrant Story and the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education invite you to visit “To Bear Witness – Extraordinary Lives\,” our newest multimedia exhibition\, opening December 9\, 2021\, at the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education. This exhibition celebrates the “Extraordinary Lives” of men and women who have endured unthinkable cruelty elsewhere in the world\, only to resume productive lives in their new homes in Oregon. \n“To Bear Witness” takes its name from the words of the late Nobel Prize-winning writer\, activist and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel\, who emphatically proclaimed\, “For the dead and the living\, we must bear witness.” And so we present this collection of profiles of survivors of the Nazi Holocaust\, genocides in Europe\, Africa and Asia and unimaginable atrocities of war. They are united by the troubling truth that human despotry sometimes knows no bounds. But each is also a portrait of courage and human resilience. We present these stories in hopes that they will inspire\, inform and possibly instruct. \n“To Bear Witness” includes 14 profiles from Myanmar\, Bosnia\, Rwanda\, Cambodia\, Syria\, Sudan\, Tibet\, Nazi-occupied Hungary\, Germany\, and Austria. \nThe Immigrant Story is proud to join with the lauded Portland photographer Jim Lommasson\, building upon his project\, “Stories of Survival\,” originally produced in collaboration with the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center. His work focuses on objects survivors were able to carry with them on their perilous journeys. From his photographs of the objects\, the participants respond with handwritten testimonies — stories\, memories\, poems\, drawings. Their stories speak to the luminous inner life of these ordinary things and testify to the unspeakable anguish of lives forever left behind. Ordinary objects thus become sacred objects. \nAlso on display are five short docu-series films by well-known video producers from the Pacific Northwest\, in collaboration with NW Documentary. These visceral personal stories emphasize the individual humanity of genocide survivors\, forcing viewers to look beyond cold facts and statistics and confront the immense emotional\, spiritual and physical violence that genocide inflicts. \nThey have so much to tell us. And so\, we must Bear Witness. \n
