| Detail from Untitled #1 |
To enhance the NCSML’s traveling oral history exhibit, Leaving Czechoslovakia, Cedar Rapids artist Sonya Darrow worked with the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library to create a collage of documents Czechs and Slovaks used to emigrate. Here, she reflects upon the collaboration:
The collage - Untitled #1 - was first shown in New York City at the Bohemian National Hall in June 2012. It has also been displayed at Des Moines Public Library, Iowa. It is the first in a series of artworks using documents gathered by the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library’s oral history project Recording Voices & Documenting Memories of Czech & Slovak Americans.
