Zuzanna Hertzberg
Women Fighters: An Affective Archive

March 27, 2023, opening 6 pm

March 27, 2023, 6.30 pm: spoken word performance (in Polish) Mechica. Indywidualny i zbiorowy opór kobiet podczas Zagłady [Mechica: Individual and Collective Resistance of Women during the Shoah]

This solo show by Zuzanna Hertzberg, an interdisciplinary artist, ‘artivist’ and researcher, has been conceived as a visual narrative of the history of Jewish women’s activism in the 20th century. The project contributes to her building a new affective archive of women’s experience. What methods did they use? How did they respond to oppression? And how can we use this knowledge in our struggles today? Galeria Studio presents artworks on fabric, objects and paintings. The exhibition is accompanied by a series of spoken word performances by the artist. By recovering the voice of women, narrating their lives and transferring them to the present day, Hertzberg develops a herstory of Jewish women’s resistance.
