Look inside
A visual history of rebellion and resistance from the Narodnaya Volya (People’s Will) under Czarist Russia, Jewish immigration from the Pale to America, the Civil Rights Movement, and the 1960’s anti-war movement, all culminating in inspiring thoughts on surviving the present tyranny.The Rebel’s Scrapbook traces a single, interwoven lineage of dissent across more than a century, built out of the Lyon family archive, political ephemera, and Lyon’s photographs. Part memoir, part historical collage, it assembles memory and history into a visual record of revolt and the human impulse to resist tyranny — inherited and carried forward image after image, generation by generation.
