Silvia Levenson (born 1957, in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an Argentine contemporary artist and political activist working in glass. Originally a graphic artist in her native Argentina whose political work was in direct conflict with the dictatorship of Jorge Rafael Videla, she found herself and her young family immigrating to Italy in 1980. Glass soon became the new medium in which she could best express her feelings of exile, oppression and personal tragedy.[1][2]
