Featuring photographic works by prize-winning storyteller, Arnold Zable and contemporary photographer, Lindsay Goldberg Can we talk about Poland? sheds light on post-war Poland for the first time in Australia. The Can we talk about Poland? exhibition and public program series invite visitors to discuss Poland; to ask what it means to be a Jew of Polish descent; how to overcome the negative memories and trauma of the Holocaust, to create new connections and meaning; and to consider the re-emergence of Jewish life in Poland today. Visitors will be able to contribute their thoughts and feelings towards Poland, through a range of interactive and participatory elements within the exhibition and public program series.
