Yom Limmud 2018

Ella Dreyfus tells the story of making her exhibition ‘Walking in Wiesbaden’, a series of public art installations and photographs that bring to life her German families’ names — Ransenberg, Brettheimer and Dreyfus — asserting their Jewish identity in the streets in which they lived. Her artworks represent a homecoming to the language, culture and places of her ancestors and reflect upon the way memories can be activated in real or imagined places of trauma, engaging with self, place and history.
