Naomi Uman: The Ukrainian Time Machine
@ Roots & Culture
1034 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60622
Opening Sunday, April 17th, at 7PM
The Ukrainian Time Machine is a project consisting to date of 5 films and 2 video pieces. This work reflects the experience and vision of a visual artist who becomes an immigrant in the land her great-grandparents left over 100 years ago.
A deep commitment to in-depth understanding of her subject marks Naomi Uman’s filmmaking. Her interest in working with her hands and learning from her subjects is manifest in both the things she chooses to document and the processes such as sewing, gardening, cooking and preserving, painting and embroidering that she engages in while making moving image works.
