Mother Tongue
Statement:
Moshava Art is pleased to present Mother Tongue: a solo exhibition and retrospective of Lenore Mizrachi-Cohen’s last five years. Cohen’s work continues to push the limits of the written word’s ability to preserve culture. Her delicately cut Arabic calligraphy bursts to life in three-dimensional forms, framing, radiating, and championing her Syrian Jewish heritage. Touching on topics from the confluence of cultures to mental health, Cohen’s compositions use words to speak louder than words. You must see it for yourself:
