Mosaic of Ethnicities

Mitav Luvitski's project for My Family Story 2024. ANU- Museum of the Jewish People

"Mosaic of Testimonies" is a picture of me that shows the photos of the immigrations to Israel related to my family. My maternal grandfather's parents immigrated from Yemen, so I used photos of the immigration from Yemen. My maternal grandmother's parents immigrated from Libya, so I used photos of the immigration from Libya. My father, my grandfather, and my grandmother immigrated from Russia, so I used photos of the immigration from the Soviet Union. In total, I used 232 photos, and not only of the immigrations: I also included photos of maps of Libya, Yemen, and the Soviet Union. I used all these photos together to create a picture of myself that I chose. My work symbolizes for me that I am the result of the union of all these testimonies in one family.
