Bringing together documentary and conceptual art, Jason Francisco's photoworks and writings focus on the complications of historical memory, and new directions in the art of witness. Much of his work concerns the inheritance of trauma, specifically concerning Jewish experience in Eastern Europe. He is co-founder and co-director of FestivALT, a program of radical and experimental Jewish art based in Kraków, Poland. Francisco is an associate professor at Emory University in the department of Film and Media Studies.
