Sylvia de Swaan
Saturday, March 08 - 1:00PM to 1:45PM
Holiday 6
Sylvia de Swaan's presentation will consist of about a 120 images (both color and B&W) from the multi-year long term project titled "Return" with emphasis on the work that de Swaan made during a six week period this summer as a sequel to her earlier photographs. It is a quest for lost history, memory and identity as a result of war and displacement. de Swaan's earlier work consisted of a series of solitary train journeys through post communist Eastern Europe. The current phase consist of finding her place in a collective history and in the city where she was born.
de Swaan was the recipient of the 2013 SPE Art Sinsabaugh Creative Artist Project Support Grant.
Dialogue and critique are important to the SPE mission.
