About the exhibition:
“Images have political power, and they can change the way we think. Illustrating is also an act of witnessing: images compel us to notice and investigate, and at their best, they shed light on and at the same time critically confront the subjects they engage with.” —Nora Krug
Award-winning artist Nora Krug’s powerful graphic memoir, Belonging: A German Reckons With History and Home, and her more recent book publication, an illustrated edition of Yale historian Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century, are the focus of an exhibition at the David Owsley Museum of Art. Each book takes inspiration from the artist’s personal experiences as well as events from history, including her family’s connections with the Nazi party, and identifies links between fascism past and present. Her mix of animation, illustration art, museum artifacts, flea market finds, vintage photography, oral histories, and personal conversations confront the past in order to take something revelatory and useful away from it.
The exhibition was organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA, and curated by Stephanie Haboush Plunkett, Chief Curator.
