Traversing the Past
@ Museum of Contemporary Photography

Opening Thursday, January 18th, from 5PM - 7PM
On view through Sunday, April 1st
Traversing the Past: Adam Golfer, Diana Matar, Hrvoje Slovenc presents the work of three artists, all of whom trace their family stories to histories of political turmoil, violence, and displacement. In using personal experiences as starting points, the artists transform the autobiographical into a multivalent lens through which to view a subject that cannot be pinned to a single narrative.
Examining family stories originating during World War II, the Qaddafi regime in Libya, and the Croatian War of Independence, Traversing the Past: Adam Golfer, Diana Matar, Hrvoje Slovenc is a visual meditation on the complex relationship between personal and political histories.
Exhibiting artists Adam Golfer and Hrvoje Slovenc will engage in conversation with Erin McCarthy, associate professor of history at Columbia College Chicago at 6:30 in the MoCP Print Study Room.
