Jewish Museum Milwaukee reopens to the public with a new exhibition by internationally renowned artist Luba Lukova. Through 34 prints, tackling a range of social justice topics, including income inequality, immigration, war and peace, the environment, and more, Lukova’s work resonates on a global level. Along with these vivid, captivating works, visitors will encounter multimedia and interactive components, inviting them to become participants in creating their own experiential journeys.

Expressing commentary on complex social issues has been Lukova’s career-long focus because of her firmly held belief that art is central to human existence and that morality and creativity are aligned. Whether pinpointing essential themes of humanity or succinctly visualizing social commentary, Lukova’s work is undeniably powerful and thought-provoking.

What makes Lukova’s work resonate with people from so many different places and perspectives is her instinctive ability to capture the very essence of an idea and convey it in a way that transcends language and culture. When you view a Lukova image you “see” her approach to visual problem solving and expression. Rarely using written text to communicate a message, she prefers to tap understanding with bold, succinct symbols and visual metaphors, which communicate universal truths about desire, fear, creation, hope, and man’s endless capacity for love and hate.
