Zsuzsi Flohr: "How I found out..."

Presentation of videos and research diary, and screening of the video "On the Ground the Possibilities"

The art-based project "How I found out..." explores the commonalities and differences between the concealment or, on the contrary, the acceptance of third-generation Jewish and Roma identities after the Shoah/Pharrajimos (Pharrajimos). This project analyses, among other things, the different coping strategies that this generation used/used to confront their own origins. One would think that the present generation has grown into its own cultural identity in a kind of natural way, whether it is religious or ethnic consciousness, cultural traditions, family customs or some mixture of these. Or we might think that all these things are naturally handed down to them by their families and their environment, and are taken on board by the society in which they live. The project is based on this line of thought (Zsuzsi Flohr).
