Loli Kantor is a photo based artist and documentarian whose work centers on personal, community, and cultural memory.
Kantor's most recent project, Call Me Lola, surveys an extensive archive of her historical family documents and photographs along with new photo-based work she has been making. Autobiographical, it explores of the role of photography in shaping personal and cultural history, memory and identity. It includes self-portraits, archival family portraits and documents, as well as her own annotations on photographs that she made of documents, all interwoven with her photographs of present-day places and geographies related to her family history in Poland, Germany, France and Israel.
Kantor’s previous completed project centered on Jewish presence and cultural renewal in east-central Europe, mostly on Poland and Ukraine. As the daughter of Holocaust survivors, her work is¬ deeply personal yet also speaks about current events. The project was published as a monograph entitled Beyond the Forest, Jewish Presence in Eastern Europe by the University of Texas Press in 2014.
Kantor has exhibited in the United States and internationally. Her work is included in museum and private collections including The Museum of Fine Arts (Houston, TX), Galicia Jewish Museum (Krakow, Poland), Lishui Museum of Photography (Lishui, China), Lviv National Museum (Lviv, Ukraine).
Kantor was born in Paris, France and raised in Israel. She has been living and working in Fort Worth, Texas since 1984.
