Here Where We Live Is Our Country

In "Here Where We Live Is Our Country," award-winning artist Molly Crabapple explores the profound legacy of the Jewish Labor Bund, a revolutionary movement that championed solidarity and justice in post-Holocaust Eastern Europe. Inspired by her great-grandfather Sam Rothbort's "memory paintings," Crabapple delves into the lives of Bundists—secular, socialist, and anti-Zionist activists whose fight for dignity and equality was rooted in their local communities. Through dramatic portraits and narratives, she brings to life their struggles against nationalism and repression, highlighting the enduring relevance of their ideals in today's world. This poignant history serves as both a tribute to the Bund's spirit and a call to recognize the imperative of solidarity in our current social landscape.
