Weaving Women’s Words
Weaving Women’s Words: Baltimore Stories honors the lives of thirty Jewish women who lived in Baltimore in the last century. It highlights women’s roles as bearers of tradition and forgers of new paths in Baltimore. The Jewish Women’s Archive captured their memories through oral history interviews. This exhibition explores their lives through three different media: Quotations from the narrators themselves, their photographic portraits, and interpretative art created by 11 prominent visual artists selected from all over the country.
This exhibition was a collaboration between the Jewish Women’s Archive and the Jewish Museum of Maryland.
"Viviana Lombrozo’s collage The Things We Carry uses old suitcases as containers for mixed media reflections on what one packs and saves during life’s travels. Based on the theme Heritage, she includes artifacts which could easily have belonged to our narrators." Jill Vexler, Ph.D, Curator
