USF Contemporary Art Museum Exhibition Shows the Results of Conflict

Friday, September 14, 2018

The exhibition Miki Kratsman: People I Met, curated by USF Contemporary Art Museum curator-at-large Christian Viveros-Fauné, is on view now at the Contemporary Art Museum.

The exhibition looks at the results of conflict in Israeli-occupied territories through a vast archive of more than 9,000 portraits of anonymous Palestinians, which Kratsman first uploaded to a dedicated Facebook page in 2011.
