"The Way I Lived It" is a premier exhibit reflecting the work and prose of Ms. Camin's book, Mi Nunez Fue Tan Pintoresca, My Childhood was so Colorful published in 2011, which explores questions about immigration and the Diaspora. Through paintings, sculptures, and prose the cultural history, ancestry, and residual psychology of global conflict and personal connections to the past are exposed as the artist unearths her roots. Through painting she re-contextualizes her history and constructs family portraits that make her relatives and herself whole again, composing an essay that questions nationalism and current events.
The Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County is located at 310 Mounts Corner Drive, near the intersection of Route 537 and Wemrock Road, in Freehold Township. It is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization and is handicapped accessible. For more information or reservations, call the Museum (732-252-6990) or visit www.jhmomc.org.
