is proud to present the third and final version of
 ---> "Family Portrait"
http://familyportrait.engad.org -
 - winner of the MOSAICA Award 2005  - Jews and Diaspora: Web Culture New Culture Jewish Culture -
an Internet based hybrid between an art project and a documentary
created by Agricola de Cologne, media artist and New Media curator from Cologne/Germany
www.agricola-de-cologne.de
.
Agricola de Cologne’s collaborative project "Family Portrait" portrays three generations of the Partnoy family from Argentina in a triple diasporic tale of survival and artistic creativity. The Partnoys escaped persecution in Europe, fleeing to Argentina where they were once again persecuted during the so-called Argentine holocaust during the military dictatorships. After being "disappeared" and imprisoned in Argentina, Alicia (Raquel's daughter) and her family found asylum in USA, where later in 1994 also Raquel and her husband Salomón  emigrated to, and they all live now as visual artists, writers and poets.
In the  framework of MOSAIC AWARD 2005,  Agricola produced a third and final version of “Family Portrait” including new aspects of the story and a chapter about the lost son of the Partnoy Family. Agricola’s project spotlights poignant aspects of Jewish diasporic history (Argentina) as well as artists whose identity and work is formed by this Jewish history.
.
"Family Portrait" is also part of the curatorial Internet based environment
