Description

Mills College Art Museum | Elena Dorfman: Syria’s Lost Generation Opening Reception | 1.18.17 | 6PM

Through portraiture and audio recordings, Elena Dorfman (1965- ) offers a humanistic perspective to the Syrian conflict, a global crisis that has claimed more than 470,000 lives and driven 6.5 million people from their homes.

Commissioned by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Syria’s Lost Generation documents a small fraction of a population disproportionately affected by the war: teenagers. Dorfman was drawn most strongly to Syrian youth, explaining, “They seemed particularly shell-shocked and bereft . . . they spoke to me of powerful longing and frustration.”
