Email Exhibition 9: "Exiles" (September 30 - October 28, 2005)
Curated by Jesse Aaron Cohen Throughout the Czarist period, as far back as Peter the Great, Russian rulers used exile as a form of punishment for criminals and other 'undesirables' of society. With the addition of political prisoners to this class in the mid-19th century, the imperial government began to send thousands of men and women to the Siberian hinterlands to serve sentences stemming from their political activities. These thousands were a mere foreshadow of the millions who would be moved by the Soviet GULAG in the decades following the revolution. Featuring original and unpublished archival photographs from the turn-of-the-century, this exhibition attempts to portray daily life in the communities formed during these years of exile.
This exhibition features material found in Record Group 1400 (Bund Archives) and Record Group 120 (Territorial, Russia I) of the YIVO Institute in New York. If you are unable to view the images, they can also be found at EXILES References About this series: This is installation nine of a monthly series of Email Exhibitions.
