Rachael Cerrotti (b. 1989) is an independent photographer, writer and educator. Her work focuses on grief, resilience, and the perception of home. She holds a degree in Communications from Temple University and is an alumni of The Rothberg International School at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. For nearly a decade, Rachael has been pursuing her long-term project, We Share The Same Sky, retracing her grandmother's route of displacement during and in the wake of World War II. The story, which travels through Central Europe, Scandinavia and across the United States, is an intergenerational approach to understanding life, death, and the will to move forward in the face of uncertainty. She has won awards from the NPPA’s Northern Short Course in Photojournalism annual contest and is a recipient of The Lori Minden Tancer Award from Momenta Workshops. Her work has been featured in the The Boston Globe, Travel & Leisure, Yedioth Ahronoth (Israel), Lidové Noviny (Czechia) and other publications worldwide. She has held solo exhibitions in Boston and Prague.
