Artist/Director Mary Jo Bole mines an eccentric inherited archive in order to trace her family tree, which includes both Cleveland industrialist magnates and immigrant factory workers. Bole’s relating artwork, spanning decades, provides a thread that points to the unexpected ways in which these relatives and their memento mori endure.
Family White Elephants (2024) is currently not available on any services.
