A quiet artistic experience about memory, identity, and imagery
The exhibition The Jewish Quarter. 29.09. showcases the work cycle of the Jewish-Ukrainian artist Vira Vaysberg at the Bielefeld Adult Education Center. Central to it is a dense, visual exploration of the memory of Babi Yar, where over 33,000 Jews were murdered in 1941. The exhibition combines painting, memory culture, and historical research into a display that does not shout but resonates long after. It can be seen in the Murnau Hall of the VHS Bielefeld and is free to visit. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/2001798))
Painting as an aesthetic experience
Vira Vaysberg works in a visual language that mediates between figuration and abstraction. Her works condense people, places, and everyday scenes into a painterly composition of memory. According to the artist's portrait, she consciously navigates that threshold where symbols and archetypes arise. It is from this that the exhibition derives its tension: The observation of the works becomes a calm but intense dialogue with color, form, and historical consciousness.

Babi Yar as a historical resonance space
The work cycle recalls one of the darkest turning points in European history. The exhibition does not rely on flashy effects but rather on a compelling, culturally and historically grounded visual language. This makes it especially suitable for visitors interested in art history, Jewish history of Europe, and contemporary memory culture. The cooperation with the Jewish Culture Days Bielefeld, the Jewish Community of Bielefeld, and the VHS Bielefeld emphasizes the public and educational aspirations of the project.
