Jenny Kagan is an artist who makes work that tells stories. She works with the language of theatre and drawing, and the techniques of lighting and stagecraft to create interactive installation work.
She is primarily interested in curating the moment of encounter. In surprising, delighting and inviting her audience to engage in new ways.
“On the 28th October 1941, the entire population of the Kaunas ghetto rises before dawn…”
Leading the audience on an immersive journey through a series of artworks Out of Darkness brings to life stories told to Jenny by her parents about their survival in hiding in Lithuania during the Second World War.
Much of Jenny’s work is inspired by her parents’ survival in the Kaunas Ghetto during the Holocaust and reflects on the contemporary relevance of these stories.
