PRAx and the Center for the Humanities Present: I Lived to Tell the World Exhibition Opening and Panel

Toomey Lobby, PRAx, 470 SW 15th St, Corvallis, OR 97331

Please join us for the opening of "I Lived to Tell the World," an exhibition featuring the stories of Oregon genocide survivors.

Through art, personal experience, and scholarship, audience members will explore the idea of using personal narratives to tell history. Photographs and short films document the experiences of genocide survivors, while a panel discussion brings together a survivor, an author, and a historian. What happens when we shift from a single version of history told in a textbook to a mosaic of individual experiences?

The exhibit will feature photographs by award-winning photographer and author Jim Lommasson. The accompanying panel discussion includes Elizabeth Mehren, author of I Lived to Tell the World: Stories from Survivors of Holocaust, Genocide, and the Atrocities of War; Saron Khut, speaker and genocide survivor, and Katherine Hubler, OSU Historian and editor of Listening to Survivors: Four Decades of Holocaust Memorial Week at Oregon State University.
