The Jamaica Plain Branch Library is pleased to continue their rotating art program, supported by The Friends of the Jamaica Plain Branch of the Boston Public Library in partnership with Uforge. This spring, the library presents a solo exhibition by photographer Yana Nosenko.
Currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at MassArt, Nosenko first studied design in Moscow and worked for an urban planning company before turning to event photography and portraiture. Her series on view in this exhibit explores immigration, displacement, nomadism, and familial separation, reflecting on her own experiences growing up in Russia, and now living in the United States for the past few years with limited ability to travel outside the country. Her color photography reveals quiet interiors with unexpected details, nostalgic portraits, and a wistful atmosphere. Introducing the project, she says, “I’ve been told that no one leaves home from an excess of happiness and comfort. One leaves, because it’s not possible to remain.” Viewers will be moved by the artist’s introspective, intimate works.
Yana Nosenko: I’m Glad You’ve Left is on view from March 2 through May 3, 2023, with a reception to be held on March 2, 2023, 5:30-7:30 PM. The library is open Monday-Wednesday 10-6, Thursday 12-8, and Friday 9-5, and Saturday 9-2 (closed Sundays). The exhibition space is located on the lower level.
