Alice Lok Cahana survived the Holocaust, moved to the US and became a successful painter. Her multi-dimensional work explores the trauma of her time at the camps and offers a glimpse of hope and survival, turning “ashes into rainbows.” Her son, Rabbie Ronnie Cahana, is a poet and his daughter, Kitra Cahana, is an acclaimed photographer. The new show at the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education presents work by these three generations of artists, looking at the concept of immortality through art. Survival and Intimations of Immortality runs through May 25th at the OJMCHE in Portland.
