WITNESSES The collection of the Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives contains several works that perpetuate the everyday life of the concentration camps. Such as the series of Ágnes Lukács Auschwitz, the women's camp and Edit Bán Kiss series that portraying the women's camp in Ravensbrück. It is equally characteristic of the works that the inscriptions appearing on them are organically connected to the pictorial representations. Writing doesn’t just accompany the depicted theme: reading the image and text simultaneously encourages the viewer to interpret the often conflicting pictorial and written content on multiple planes. This kind of narrative is not only typical of the works of artists who experienced the Holocaust, such as the works of the Hungarian painter of Roma origin Omara (Oláh Mara). Textual narration is also an essential accessory and helper in his images. In the case of the autobiographically inspired works to be presented at the exhibition, the organic unity of image and writing results in a particularly personal narrative. The exhibition seeks to explore the common or different roots of the working methods of these creators. Curator: Zsófia Farkas
