After 6 months at The Museum of Florida, Naomi's exhibition, Once Upon a Time in Lithuania, has come to an end. It was not a
selling exhibition but it has become political due to its subject of Jewish
homes and killing fields of Lithuania.
Naomi writes: " I have been caught up in two different
histories...one is rewriting history...in Lithuania. It became very unpleasant
for me....and I will not go into details. It is next to be seen at the Shipley
Art Gallery and Museum , Gateshead , in June 2013, and no doubt will carry on
because of its nature!
"It has previously been shown in Leicester University,
Lithuanian Embassy, London Jewish Cultural Centre and The Vilna Gaon State
Museum in Lithuania, where I informed the American Ambassador ( for two
hours) and the British Ambassador of the situation of Jews before
the Holocaust in Lithuania. It became a big event as I was also on state TV and
radio. I am now preparing for a new residency....Art Deco in Miami in conjunction with
UNESCO World Heritage City,Tel Aviv, Modernism and Bauhaus. "
