Patricia Eszter Margit of Art Kibbutz has invited the Jewish Art Salon to participate in two events at Limmud NY.
Panel: Radical Jewish art and community
Sunday January 15, 2012. 4:40 - 5:35 PM
With Marc Michael Epstein, Patricia Eszter Margit,
Greg Wall, Yona Verwer
Three Jewish cultural organization’s leaders discuss how their work creates community, encourages diversity, understanding, action, outstanding artistic expression, collaboration and new ways to connect to Jewish identity through art.
Panelists share their experiences about inspiring, innovative and relevant projects that foster 21st century Jewish culture and creativity, such as Art Kibbutz’s Shofar FlashMob, that involved artists in more than 20 international locations taking a post-modern twist (flashmob) on an ancient ritual (sounding the ram’s horn) enabling myriad of artistic interpretations. Jewish Art Salon’s Dura Europos Project brought together a diverse group of visual artists giving their responses to the very first visual presentation of Jewish culture. Rabbi Greg Wall at The Sixth Street Community Synagogue uses the arts to promote Jewish literacy among artists and their audiences.
