Photographer Gabriela Bulisova featured on Pivot Art Gallery

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 15, 2010 -
This months Artist Portfolio presents a wide variety of Bulisova's work from her many projects, culminating with selections from her series of Iraqi Refugees in America. Fearful for their own safety and the safety of family members in Iraq (they are seen as “collaborators” for helping the U.S. and are being targeted for assassination - these most vulnerable refugees have been resettled by the United States government as an “option of last resort”) many have asked that she not reveal their faces or names. Bulisova effectively overcomes this unique challenge of simultaneously revealing and concealing an identity in these powerful black and white portraits.

Bulisova, a native of the former Czechoslovakia, received her MFA in Photography and Digital Imaging in 2005 and has had numerous group shows, solo exhibitions, grants, and awards for her work.
