Both a survivor and a partisan, Miriam Brysk was inspired to create mixed-media photo collages following a recent tour of ghettos and concentration camps in Eastern Europe. 

She incorporated family photos, pictures taken during her travels and archival images into this showing of her mixed-media works. Soft focus and minimal details capture her feelings of contemplation. 

Brysk will speak during a free public reception at 4 p.m. on April 23, 2006 in the Herzstein Theater. A public reception for Brysk will follow from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
