Tanya Ury (born October 1951, London) is an activist, author and artist.[2] Since 1993 she has lived in Cologne, which is where many of her family members, including well-known German-Jewish authors, came from.[3] Her arresting video, photographic and performance output deal with Jewish history in general, frequently with a more specific focus on her own Jewish familial provenance.[4] Other themes cover such controversial matters as the Shoah, Racism, Sexuality and Pornography.[5]
