Veln Di Verter Oykh Nern (The Words Will Also Nourish), features an edition of artist books and twelve accompanying prints that emerged from the recorded testimony of Paja L, a young woman, teacher, and library worker in the Vilna Ghetto. The prints featured in this collection situate Paja’s testimony amongst broader narratives of cultural resistance in Vilnius, Lithuania, drawing on Paja’s direct quotes and supplementary historical documents including cultural event posters. 

This body of work emerged from the 2023 In geveb/Forunoff fellowship cohort. Read more about my work with this project at Veln di verter oykh nern: Continuing Vilna’s Legacy of Cultural Resistance on In geveb.
