As a lens-based artist and curator, Lucy Schreurs (1999, Sittard), is intrigued by social polarisation within families and how this process is influenced by (intergenerational) traumatic experiences. Grounded in analogue (documentary) photography, their work questions how we’ve become polarised and what could connect us again. By using analogue photography as a starting medium they can keep the authenticity and intimacy close and truly convey the story. Inspired by their personal (family) narratives, their intimate interactive installations challenge viewers to engage with their own intergenerational (multicultural) family traumas. Their work aims to provoke reflection on the viewer's own experiences with prejudice, trauma and polarisation so that together we can mourn collectively generational trauma and experience release.
