Stashu Kybartas

In describing his work, Stashu Kybartas has said, “I have chosen to work in video and performance because these are storytelling media.  I want to tell my stories and the stories of others because I believe that through telling one’s story, one can be healed.”  Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Kybartas’ work confounds traditional documentary by interweaving memory, reflection, historical and personal documents, interviews, and historical research to flesh out the past and provide history with a human face.
