Memorial Sites: New York to NairobiMemorial Sites: New York to Nairobi is an exhibition of photographs by Julie Dermansky which reflects on the meaning and history of memorials while addressing site specificity and the culture of place.
"History belongs to all of us," says Dermansky, "but it is the memorial site commemorating a particular historical moment and connecting it to the present that infiltrates our being and transcends history."
Dermansky has documented memorials in diverse locations, from the site of the destroyed US Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, to the Valhalla, New York 9/11 memorial by Frederic Schwartz.
Her global perspective explores the range of realized memorial design solutions.
Memorial Sites: New York to Nairobi engages issues of injustice and genocide, while capturing the irony of sacred sites converted to tourist destinations.
