Ceija Stojka: Making Visible

Ceija Stojka: Making Visible features the work of Roma artist, activist, writer, lyricist, and singer Ceija Stojka (1933-2013). Comprising more than sixty artworks, as well as a selection of sketchbooks, archival material, and documentary films made during Stojka’s lifetime, Making Visible explores the fullness of Stojka’s production as a visual artist, centered in her Roma life and heritage. Spurred by the resurgence of extreme right nationalism in Austria and abroad, and by her experiences as a Holocaust survivor, Stojka created works of profound beauty and horror that resonate today in strikingly contemporary terms.

Ceija Stojka: Making Visible is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog edited by independent curator and writer Lynne Cooke, with contributions from Dr. Ethel Brooks, Romani Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies and Sociology at Rutgers University, independent curator Noëlig Le Roux, and visual artist Ulrike Müller.

Drawing Papers 161 was published on the occasion of the exhibition Ceija Stojka: Making Visible, on view through June 7, 2026.
