SUMMARY:Snapshots from the Garden of Eden - Dina Goldstein
DESCRIPTION:Image: Dina Goldstein\, The Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge\, 2017\n\nOnce upon a time… the wicked witch was Lilith\, Queen of the Demons\, the magical apple came from the Garden of Eden\,  \nand the first Rapunzel was Princess Keziah\, daughter of King Solomon\, locked in a tower waiting for true love… \n  \nThe Museum of Jewish Montreal invites you to its new exhibition Snapshots from the Garden of Eden by Canadian contemporary artist Dina Goldstein to discover the unexpected parallels between well-loved fairytales and the oft-overlooked but rich tradition of Jewish fables\, in relation to contemporary issues and themes. \nSnapshots from the Garden of Eden reimagines\, through a series of stylized photographs\, modernized versions of Jewish tales collected in the book Leaves from the Garden of Eden by award-winning folklorist Howard Schwartz. Known for her inventive reinterpretations of cultural symbols\, Goldstein’s Snapshots reframes Jewish fables both famed and overlooked. Through her work\, the history of Jewish folklore is catapulted into the modern era through a cast of characters and film noir-esque scenes that consider questions around technology\, desire\, death\, and identity\, exploring folk narratives and cultural symbols with clever allusions and irreverence. \nSnapshots from the Garden of Eden will be on display from February 20th to May 17th\, 2020 as part of the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s 2010/2020 contemporary art exhibition series Inside/Out. \n  \n[slide-anything id=”36676″] \nImage credits: Photography by Gabriela Opas and Maëlle André \nview exhibition guide \n❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ \nThe Museum of Jewish Montreal is an innovative place to connect with Montreal’s Jewish life and identify\, share our diverse heritage\, and create new cultural experiences. Our 2019/2020 contemporary art exhibition series Inside/Out\, examines what exists in the space between inside and out\, personal and public\, or real and imagined. The Inside/Out exhibition series has been made possible through the Shaping our Future Grant\, thanks to the generous support of the Jewish Community Foundation of Montreal\, the Nussia and Andre Aisenstadt Foundation\, and Federation CJA.

SUMMARY:Digital Diasporas: Sala-Manca & The Museum of the Contemporary
DESCRIPTION:  \nAs social distancing transforms what it means to interact with art\, the Museum of Jewish Montreal is thrilled to announce its new Digital Diasporas Series\, an exciting new platform connecting our local community with the practices and new ideas of contemporary artists from across the globe. \nMuch as a diaspora describes the dispersal of a people across space\, this series explores the new movements artists are taking away from their practice in the digital world or how they are working in ways that forge new communities and connections despite geographic distance. In short\, it’s a series about being apart\, together. \nJoin us each month as selected artists take us through their practice prior to the pandemic\, their innovations in response to social distancing\, and their visions for the future. \n————- \nJoin the Sala-Manca Group‘s Lea Mauas (General & Artistic director of Mamuta Art & Research Centre) and Diego Rotman (Head of the Department of Theater Studies at the Hebrew University) for a discussion and presentation on the critical thought and approach behind their practice before\, during\, and after COVID-19. Their discussion will concentrate on some past key projects done through the Museum of the Contemporary\, among them the online event “Comment 13: Something is Rotten in The State of Denmark” that took place April 4\, 2020\, in the early days of COVID-19 restrictions. \nThe Sala-Manca group will share their tactics\, way of working and their experiences as founders\, directors\, guides\, guards and custodians of the Museum of the Contemporary. \nRegister here through Eventbrite!  \nThis event is free and will be held via Zoom. You will receive further information on how to connect through Zoom upon registration. \n————- \nThe Museum of the Contemporary was founded in December 2009 at the Mamuta Art and Research Center in the Ein Karem area of Jerusalem\, Israel – a physical and digital institution/framework that appears and disappears\, only to reappear elsewhere. The Museum of the Contemporary’s first physical home was at the Ethnographic Department of the Museum of the Contemporary\, opened on December 31\, 2014 in the basement space of the Hansen House\, the former leprosarium in Jerusalem. The Ethnographic Department inhabits the seam between art museum and ethnographic museum\, and between visual art and popular art\, exploring the tensions between the original\, the recreation\, the copy\, and the processed. \n  \nThe Sala-Manca Group is an independent group of artists that has been active in Jerusalem since 2000\, pursuing creative work in a wide range of fields\, including performance\, video\, poetry\, and public art. Sala-Manca’s works deal with poetics of translation (cultural\, mediatic\, and social)\, with textual\, urban and net contexts\, and with the tensions between low tech and high tech aesthetics\, as well as social and political issues. The group consists of two artists\, Lea Mauas and Diego Rotman. It works in collaboration with many artists\, curators\, and cultural institutions in Israel and abroad. Over the years\, over 500 artists\, curators\, filmmakers\, poets\, architects\, and artists from other fields have taken part in its various projects. Sala-Manca published Hearat Shulaym – (Note in the Margin): Independent Quarterly for Contemporary Art and Literature (2001-2007)\, and curates and produces Heara events – multidisciplinary and collaborative events independently organized with no commercial or official sponsors. In 2009 they founded the Mamuta Art and Media Center.

SUMMARY:How not to kill your houseplants with Plantbaby studio
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Museum of Jewish Montreal is thrilled to bring you Plantbaby studio’s “How not to kill your houseplants” workshop!  \nIf you didn’t get a chance to see our exhibition “Snapshots from the Garden of Eden” by Dina Goldstein you are in luck! This workshop will begin with a brief slideshow of highlights from the exhibition while we learn to take care of our own gardens at home. \nPlants grow out of the earth\, yet they can thrive in our living rooms with just the water\, light and soil we provide for them. They are living proof that we can evolve and adapt\, even when we’re isolating within the four walls of our homes. They are our friends\, teachers\, therapists\, air purifiers and they bring beauty to our homes. They’re also a bit tricky to keep alive. \nThis workshop —led by Jenny Morris of Plantbaby studio— will help you turn your black thumbs into green thumbs. Get ready to take your plant parenthood to the next level by understanding light\, water and soil requirements for popular houseplants and how to identify and select the best plants for your home. \nRegister here through Eventbrite! \nThis event is free and will be held via Zoom. You will receive further information on how to connect through Zoom upon registration. \n————————————————————– \nIf your succulents have gone gooey\, your Ivy dried up\, and your Fiddle Leaf Fig tree has lost all of it’s leaves — you’ll walk away from this workshop understanding why. Sometimes plants die because you love them too much (overwatering). Or they go brown because they’ve crisped in front of your South facing window. Whatever the cause\, you’ll be a novice indoor gardener in no time. \nWe’ll cover light\, water\, soil\, repotting\, propagating\, dealing with pests and troubleshooting when your plant friends are looking sad (plus a Q&A to ask all your burning questions). \nJenny Morris is the plant lady behind Plantbaby studio. She has taught dozens of workshops on house plant care throughout Toronto and is the proud plant mom to 33 thriving plants. Jenny loves working with her hands (and encouraging others to do this same!) being in nature and and has over ten years of experience keeping house plants alive in her home and professionally. She documents her plant obsession and jungle home on Instagram at @plantbabystudio.

SUMMARY:Digital Diasporas with Artists 4 Long Term Care
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to present the July edition of our new Digital Diasporas series featuring Artists 4 Long Term Care! \nArtists 4 Long-Term Care (A4LTC) is a social action initiative co-founded by Kitra Cahana and Isadora Kosofsky that uses art and storytelling to raise awareness of the crisis facing residents and staff of long-term care facilities during the Covid-19 pandemic.

SUMMARY:Red Light Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us in welcoming back Karen Herland for a special walking tour of Montreal’s historic Red Light District!\n\n\nSex work\, especially in its most visible forms\, tends to be recognized as a problem\, requiring intervention and eradication. As a major transportation hub and port city\, many sectors of Montreal’s economy were intertwined with the sex trade\, even as police and politicians manipulated social responses (positive and negative) to the presence of a thriving Red Light District. From Maimie Pinzer to Harry Ship and through to the present day\, this tour explores the social\, economic\, labour\, cultural\, racial\, and gender history of Montreal through its former Red Light\, which for decades thrived in the heart of Montreal’s burgeoning Jewish community.\n\n\nThis tour covers 150 years and 10 city blocks over 1.5-2 hours. The tour begins on the southeast corner of Boulevard René Lévesque and Boulevard St. Laurent and ends near St. Laurent metro station. The tour will be taking place in English.\n\n\nTickets are $21 general admission and $10 for students. Spots are limited\, and tickets can be purchased only in advance using this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/red-light-tour-tickets-119139283805\n\n\nAll tour group participants must sign a health and safety waiver ahead of their tours\, which will be sent out following purchase of tickets. All tour participants must wear a mask or face shield during the tour\, and social distancing will be maintained throughout.

SUMMARY:Digital Diasporas with FestivALT
DESCRIPTION:Digital Diasporas with FestivALT \nThursday September 24 at 5:00PM EDT \nWe are excited to be hosting the artists\, thinkers\, and creators behind a new art-activism project from Kraków-based Jewish arts collective FestivALT for the September edition of our Digital Diasporas series! \nJoin FestivALT co-director Magda Rubenfeld-Koralewska\, cultural anthropologist and curator Erica Lehrer and artist Jaqueline Nicholls to discover their approach to a new critical intervention around Jewish subject matter in the Krakow Ethnographic Museum\, and the ways it has changed and evolved as a result of the global pandemic. \nThis event is free and will be held on Zoom. Click here to register via Eventbright. \nAbout the Project: Despite its location in a former Jewish school in the heart of the Jewish quarter in Kraków\, Poland\, and covering one of the richest periods of multicultural history in Galicia\, the permanent exhibit of the city’s historic Ethnographic Museum (MEK) barely addresses Jewish or other minority cultures. In July 2019 FestivALT initiated a public conversation with the Museum’s Director regarding the museum’s ethnic depictions and silences. MEK had no prior contact with Kraków’s Jewish community\, and the results of that conversation were surprising for all\, catalyzing a process of collaboration with the Jewish community and self-critique for the museum\, to consider how it might better exhibit Jewish and minority cultures going forward. \nIn 2020 FestivALT is collaborating with Professor Erica Lehrer (a Montreal-based cultural anthropologist with longstanding connections to Poland and MEK) and partnering with four artists working in mixed media (Jacqueline Nicholls\, Dorota Mytych\, Wiktor Podgórski and Edward Pasewicz) to design a large-scale multi-media installation responding to the museum’s problematic content. Due to COVID-19\, the works will be projected on the museum\, raising questions and offering curatorial dreams for after lockdown. \nJoin us to discuss this unfolding activist provocation! \nAbout the speakers \nErica Lehrer – cultural anthropologist and curator\, teaches at Concordia University\, Founding Director of the Curating and Public Scholarship Lab (CaPSL) http://capsl.cerev.ca/director/\nJaqueline Nicholls – visual artist\, educator and cultural events producer. Her art engages traditional Jewish ideas in untraditional ways. http://www.jacquelinenicholls.com/\nMagda Rubenfeld Koralewska – graphic designer\, social entrepreneur\, activist\, co-founder and co-artistic director of FestivALT. http://festivalt.com \n  \nAbout Digital Diasporas \nMuch as a diaspora describes the dispersal of a people across space\, this series explores the new movements artists are taking away from their practice in the digital world or how they are working in ways that forge new communities and connections despite geographic distance. In short\, it’s a series about being apart\, together. Join us each month as selected artists take us through their practice prior to the pandemic\, their innovations in response to social distancing\, and their visions for the future.

SUMMARY:Games I Don't Want to Play: Horah Alone
DESCRIPTION:Michelle Soicher and Joseph Glaser invite you to join them for an evening of Jewish existential dread and fun to launch the start of their project Games I Don’t Want to Play: Horah Alone. \nMichelle and Joseph have combined their theatre and music backgrounds to create Games I Don’t Want to Play\, a celebration of millennial Jewish identity in all its contradictions. Horah Alone is one of the games we don’t want to play. \nThis work asks people to dance to the bar-mitzvah hit\, the Cha-Cha Slide by DJ Casper\, “ibergezezt un farbessert” (remixed and with new words by the artists). During the evening\, the artists will discuss the piece and how it came about\, followed by a short\, filmed presentation of the work and a digital collective performance. \nClick here to access the original audio track Horah Alone \nGames I Don’t Want to Play was initially devised with the support of the Jewish Arts Mentorship program at the Segal Centre for Performing Arts\, and realized under the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s Microgrants for Creative or Cultural Exploration program. \nThis event is presented in partnership with Moishe House Montreal and the Segal Centre for Performing Arts. \nClick here to reserve your tickets

SUMMARY:Songs of Salomon: Piano Concert with Alexandra Gorlin Crenshaw
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for Songs of Salomon\, a multimedia performance by pianist/soprano Alexandra Gorlin-Crenshaw\, based on the work of the German-Jewish painter\, Charlotte Salomon \nCharlotte Salomon was born in Berlin in 1917 and perished in Auschwitz in 1943. She became known only many years posthumously for her multidisciplinary work Leben? Oder Theater?–a narrative series of paintings\, text\, and music that she created between 1941-42 while she lived in hiding in the south of France. The work miraculously survived the war thanks to the care of a French doctor who later returned it to her remaining family.  \nBlurring borders of style and genre\, Salomon juxtaposed her texts and paintings with opera arias\, Schubert lieder\, Yiddish folk songs\, tangos\, and popular melodies from 1920s Berlin\, portraying the rich musical surroundings of the time\, and revealing her personal tastes. Alexandra Gorlin-Crenshaw adds solo piano works and arrangements to the mix –along with a few new experiments– formulating her own re-imagining of Salomon’s musical mind. \nThe concert will begin at 6:30pm on Thursday\, November 5th. \nThis first production of Songs of Salomon is possible thanks to support from the Banff Centre for the Arts and the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s Micro-grants for Creative and Cultural Exploration. \nDonations made through eventbrite go towards supporting the Museum of Jewish Montreal\, to donate to Alexandra directly\, use the following link: https://paypal.me/agorlincrenshaw \nCanadian-American pianist/soprano Alexandra Gorlin-Crenshaw holds performance degrees from Indiana University and the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal\, where she studied with Jean-Louis Haguenauer and André Laplante. Her projects have included a performance of the Ravel Trio at Montreal’s Bourgie Hall with violinist Ewald Cheung and cellist Peter Wiley; Rachmaninoff works in the latest Intégrale pour piano in Sorel-Tracy\, Schumann’s Dichterliebe with dancers; and the complete J.S. Bach Toccatas. She currently incorporates her singing voice into performances at the piano\, exploring what kinds of vulnerability and honesty this practice can add to her work. \nReserve Tickets Here

SUMMARY:Digital Diasporas with Joey Ramona and New Ways of Worship Zine Launch
DESCRIPTION:As part of our collaboration with Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist Joey Ramona\, the first featured artist of our contemporary arts cycle Permanence\, we are thrilled to announce the November edition of our Digital Diasporas series. This session will feature not only an artist presentation\, but the launch of a new zine publication! \n\n\nJoin Joey and the curatorial team at the Museum of Jewish Montreal on Zoom to learn about Joey’s work as a Queer Jewish tattoo artist\, their experiences with their practice through the pandemic\, and the creation of their new zine New Ways of Worship as part of their collaboration with the Museum of Jewish Montreal. As a self-identified Queer\, feminist Jewish artist\, Ramona uses tattooing to delve into deeper avenues of self-expression that relate not only to their identity\, but also to the Jewishness of their clients. Come learn about this new radical way of Jewish celebration and ritual with Joey Ramona! \nAttendees to this event will have the chance to receive a free copy of Joey’s zine shipped to their house. The first 80 registrants to Digital Diasporas with Joey Ramona will receive a bound\, colour copy of New Ways of Worship in the mail. Don’t forget to include your address when registering! Only attendees living in Canada with a Canadian shipping address are eligible for this free mail-out. \nAbout Joey Ramona \nJoey Ramona a multi-disciplinary artist from Toronto\, Ontario\, specializing in tattooing. They have been tattooing professionally for 13 years\, and graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 2011 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. As well as tattooing\, Joey maintains a steady painting practice\, and has recently ventured into making Judaica\, like kippot and mezuzah covers. They also make zines and other DIY literature\, and their work has been featured in Jewish Currents\, Hey Alma\, and Inside Out. \nAbout Permanence Art Cycle at MJM \nPermanence began as the theme for the Museum’s 2020-2021 art exhibition cycle. Reoriented and adapted for a socially-distanced and increasingly digital world\, this cycle invites artists to question and examine the many permutations of ‘forever.’ Through a series of artistic innovations and events\, we invite the public to consider permanence in a moment of flux\, whether in the ephemera of [in]stability\, the way we make lasting spaces for our communities\, the unseen but constant presences that shape us\, or the quiet\, determined mutability of the seemingly eternal. \nAbout Digital Diasporas Event Series \nMuch as a diaspora describes the dispersal of a people across space\, this series explores the new movements artists are taking away from their practice in the digital world or how they are working in ways that forge new communities and connections despite geographic distance. In short\, it’s a series about being apart\, together. Join us each month as selected artists take us through their practice prior to the pandemic\, their innovations in response to social distancing\, and their visions for the future. \nThis event is free and will be held via Zoom. Please register in advance by clicking this link. You will receive the Zoom link one hour before the event. If you wish to make a donation\, you’ll have the option to do so upon registration. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you! \nThis event was made possible through the ROI Community Grassroots Events program.

SUMMARY:Zine-Making Workshop with Joey Ramona & Jess Goldman
DESCRIPTION:Join tattoo artist Joey Ramona and writer Jess Goldman for a zine-making workshop hosted by the Museum of Jewish Montreal! \nThis will be an interactive workshop over Zoom that\, though online\, will encourage us to be in our bodies and be present in our creative processes in the context of a virtual community. Joey and Jess will be teaching basic\, accessible methods of zine-making – all are welcome from zine-making veterans to first-time chapbookers! \n\n\nTogether we will learn how to make a one-sheet zine\, but also gain inspiration by exploring the wide variety of styles\, topics\, and aesthetics of zines – from text-based to image-based to collage and much more. All participants are encouraged to join in with supplies scavenged from home and/or the dollar store. Joey and Jess will also share their own creative processes\, and participants will be given the opportunity to meet other participants and share what they have created in breakout rooms at the end of the workshop (though not sharing is totally fine too!).\n\n\nWe hope you can join us for a fun\, creative evening\, to enjoy some community connection\, even if it might be through a screen! And remember\, finished products are not at all required: think process not product! \nAbout Jess & Joey \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJess Goldman (she/her) is a queer Jewish white settler writer from Tkaronto (Toronto) who is currently based in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal).
