About Return to the Fortress
In 2019, Gladstone was invited by the David Medul Jewish Museum and the City of Bejar, Spain –the town from which her Sephardic ancestors were expelled over 500 years ago —to produce a body of work exploring themes related to diaspora, belonging, and mythologies of home. Return to the Fortress will have its Canadian debut at the Museum of Jewish Montreal, on show from October 24, 2019 to February 2020.
