Tamar Segev is a visual artist from Boston, MA. She received her BA in Studio Art from Carleton College and is currently living in Champaign, IL, where she is an MFA candidate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her work considers questions of familial memory, specifically her paternal grandparents’ experience as Polish Jews during WWII. She is interested in how embedded memories in photographs and architecture are transmitted to and interpreted by the next generation. Through paintings, drawings, and prints, Segev builds records of inquiry, comprehension, and remembrance.
