| Atelier Zuleika is presenting with The Rhodes Trust an exhibition by Kosovar born photographer and Rhodes Scholar, Elena Gallina. Having grown up in Kosovo in the aftermath of the ‘99 war and worked in refugee camps in Jordan and Palestine for several years, Gallina’s photography practice is inspired by the often misunderstood quiet moments experienced by those in over-sensationalised environments. This exhibition, Çiknia jonë: Our Girlhood, examines the Kosovar practice of collecting and trading paper napkins. This practice goes as far back as the 60’s and has been carried through to the present day by many generations. The divided city of Mitrovica is the focal point of the exhibition.
Elena Gallina, Çiknia jonë: Our Girlhood at Rhodes House, South Park Road, Oxford OX1 3RG and open to the public to view during ArtWeeks https://www.artweeks.org/v/elena-gallina-rhodes-house |
