/"Transitional Spaces: Destruction, Disintegration, and Growth in
Post-Communist Hungary and Estonia" /by Amy Brouillette and Sara Rhodin
1737 Cambridge Street, Ground Level, Fisher Family Commons
5:00--7:00 p.m.
Amy Brouillette is a freelance journalist with a master's degree in
journalism from the University of Colorado, Boulder. She first traveled
to Budapest in the summer of 2005 for an international reporting
seminar, returning in the spring of 2006 to cover Hungary's
parliamentary election for her master's thesis. Her photographs,
displayed on the north-facing wall, depict the story of rapid
development in the Jewish Quarter of Budapest---the striking tug of war
between past and present, in which the past often falls under the bulldozer.
From 2006 to 2007, Sara Rhodin was a Fulbright Scholar
in Estonia, where
she undertook a photography project on the residual effects of
the Cold
War on Estonia's landscape and culture. Her photographs, which depict
former military bases, closed cities, and abandoned government
headquarters, capture the dynamic quality of the Cold War's physical
manifestations. Most of the photographs, displayed on the south-facing
wall, were taken in Narva, Sillamae, Paldiski, Klooga, Kiela, and Tallinn.
The exhibition will be on display until April 29.
