SUMMARY:Red Light Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us in welcoming Karen Herland for a special walking tour of Montreal’s historic Red Light District! \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. \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. \nTickets are $21 general admission and $10 for students. Spots are limited\, and tickets can be purchased only in advance using this link: https://kiosk.eztix.co/kiosk-optimised/1262428 \nKaren Herland is an author\, independent researcher\, and educator\, currently teaching at Concordia University in the Interdisciplinary Program on Sexuality Studies and Fine Arts. She published “People\, Potholes and City Politics”\, a guide to municipal politics in Montreal in 1994 with Black Rose Books. She began researching the history of Montreal’s Red Light District after working as coordinator for Stella\, a community development organization for sex workers in Montreal. \n

SUMMARY:Klezmer on the Main: Outdoor Concert & Street Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join us and KlezKanada in welcoming Moritz Weiss and Ivan Trenev from Austria for a free outdoor klezmer concert during the Labour Day weekend street fair along Boulevard St. Laurent! \nFrom 1-2 PM on Sunday September 1 we’ll have live music right outside our Museum (corner of Duluth and St. Laurent)\, and from Thursday-Sunday we’ll be out from 11:30-6:30 PM with our booth selling delightful gifts from our boutique and refreshing snacks from Fletchers – Espace Culinaire. \nDuo Trenev & Weiß‘s project\, “Kleztango and Beyond“\, is a duo project featuring two best friends in world music entering into a musical dialogue on the clarinet and accordion. The accordion supports the laughing\, sighing\, and cawing sounds of the clarinet with soft\, crystal clear sounds and rhythmically playful melodies. Trenev and Weiß devote themselves to two wonderful musical varieties – Tango and Klezmer – and playfully sculpt out their commonalities. In April 2019 their debut album “KlezTango“ was released on Lotus Records.

SUMMARY:Darkroom by Edward Hillel
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Museum of Jewish Montreal is thrilled to present Chambre Noire/Darkroom\, an immersive art installation by photographer and multidisciplinary artist Edward Hillel. Using archives from his critically-acclaimed 1987 book The Main: Portrait of a Neighbourhood\, the artist invites the public into the intimate setting of a figurative darkroom\, offering a glimpse into his creative process while reflecting on time\, memory and photographic practice. Darkroom/Chambre Noire will run from June 26th until September 15th\, 2019. \nThe Museum of Jewish Montreal\, a contemporary cultural hub and meeting point for the diverse communities that have lived and now reside along the Main\, is a fitting location for Hillel’s Chambre Noire/Darkroom. The Museum’s gallery space will be transformed into an imaginary darkroom production space\, bringing together large-scale black and white film strips\, never-before-seen contact sheets\, physical and virtual copies of The Main\, as well as a monumental participatory map that engages visitors to explore\, connect their own dots and share their own stories. At night\, the exhibition will come further to life as the red lights of the darkroom beckon mysteriously out from the Museum’s fourteen large windows towards the boulevard at the corner of St-Laurent and Duluth. \nHillel’s installation is further informed by site-specificity as he pays homage to the history and processes of analog photography\, and to this former factory building where MJM is located. After the end of textile manufacturing in the 60’s\, the building languished until it was purchased by a co-operative of creatives. Since then it has housed many photographers\, filmmakers and artists who make a vibrant contribution to the cultural life of the city\, the province as well as internationally. No doubt some dark rooms still thrive here. \n[slide-anything id=”37684″] \nBorn in Baghdad\, Iraq\, Hillel grew up in Montreal where he lived and worked as a community organizer in the Plateau neighbourhood between 1975 and 1990 while developing his artistic practice. His social activism and involvement in community life inspired him to document this transitional moment through photography and text. In 1990 Hillel moved from Montreal to Paris and is now based in New York. In 2017 the Société de Developpement du Boulevard St. Laurent commissioned him to revisit The Main and create a new body of work\, due to be published soon. \nChambre Noir/Darkroom is featured as part of the Museum’s 2018-2019 exhibition series Movement & Migrations\, which places importance on sharing stories different than our own\, while encouraging recognition of ourselves in the stories of others. In collaborating with Hillel\, the Museum of Jewish Montreal is fulfilling its goal in creating multiple entry points for visitors to engage with and find personal resonance in Montreal’s Jewish heritage and its diverse communities through art\, as well as creating an inclusive space for visitors of all backgrounds to learn\, participate and exchange ideas.

SUMMARY:Encrypted Histories - Nuit Blanche at the MJM
DESCRIPTION:This Nuit Blanche\, join us for an evening of live performance and an immersive art experience playing with cultural identity\, visual language\, and communication. Inspired by our current exhibition\, The Ocean Between Us\, for one night our Museum will be transformed into an ethereal labyrinth\, designed by artist Jordanna Ibghy\, inviting visitors to immerse themselves completely in Yuula Benivolski’s work. Throughout the evening\, we will host a series of live letter-readings in English\, French\, and Russian\, where the performers will take turns translating each others words\, creating a chorus of spoken word. This experience brings us back to the original idea behind The Ocean Between Us\, which was first inspired by letters written to the artist’s family by a formerly imprisoned Jewish Trotskyist dissident poet and journalist on the KGB watchlist in the 1970s.

SUMMARY:Inside/Out:Call for Exhibition Proposals Deadline
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Jewish Montreal invites artists and collectives to submit their proposed exhibition projects for the Museum’s 2019-2020 exhibition series inside/out \nDeadline: February 10\, 2019 at 11:59pm (Montreal time/Eastern Time Zone) \nApplication Guidelines  \nAbout the theme: Inside/Out \nThe 2019/2020 arts programming theme at the Museum of Jewish Montreal broadly takes as its starting point discussions of what exists or is generated “inside\,” that which is associated with or exists “outside\,” and/or breaching the binary of these two concepts to turn them “inside out.” Rather than limiting\, this thematic basis seeks to enable the artistic exploration of varied concepts\, from those anchored in the canon of art history (such as the sacred and profane\, the pastoral and the industrial\, internal reflection and transgressive gaze\, etc.) to newer questions in research-creation and museum studies (such as investigating where digital art exists\, the space between the museum and other spheres\, environmental concerns\, identity narratives\, etc.).

SUMMARY:Sephardic Brunch with Didem Başar and Nazih Borish
DESCRIPTION:For our February musical brunch\, the Musée du Montréal juif – Museum of Jewish Montreal\, Fletchers – Espace Culinaire\, and KlezKanada are excited to partner with The Wandering Chew to bring you live music by Didem Başar and Nazih Borish and a special brunch featuring an assortment of dishes found around the Sephardic world. \nThrough their events the Wandering Chew aims to teach people about the history behind beloved Jewish foods\, as well as going beyond the familiar to introduce people to the vast world of Jewish cuisine. At this brunch\, the Wandering Chew will be making special dishes from the Syrian-Jewish and Turkish-Jewish communities to pay tribute to the musicians’ respective heritages. Dishes will be announced soon! \nBrunch will be held in three seatings\, from 10:00-11:30 AM\, 11:30 AM-1:00 PM\, and 1:00-2:30 PM. For reservations\, please call 514 840 9300 or email fletchers@imjm.ca. We will have a very limited number of drop-in seats. Music will also be held in three sets\, from 11:00-11:30 AM\, 12:00-12:30 PM\, and 1:00-1:30 PM. \nThere is no entry fee for this event – the cost is that of your meal. \n—————— \nDidem Başar was born into a family bred with music. She started her music education at Istanbul Technical University Turkish Music State Conservatory when she was 11 years old. Having completed the Conservatory’s Kanun department\, she continued her training at the same university to receive her Bachelor’s Degree on composition in 1995. Her interest in examining the effects of art on society led her to complete a Master’s Degree on the musical analysis of Mevlevi Music at Marmara University. She gave lectures on Turkish music and kanun playing techniques at Haliç University Turkish music Conservatory and Istanbul University State Conservatory from 2001 until she moved to Canada in 2007. Her relocation to Montreal gave her the opportunity to reinterpret her music in this new environment whose vividness is the result of the turbulent convergence of manifold cultures flowing from different parts of the world. \nNazih Borish began to learn the oud by himself at the age of five\, listening to the music of many different cultures like flamenco\, jazz\, blues\, Indian music\, etc. He began working as an oud player in popular music bands at the age of thirteen. He created a new style of oud playing\, always pushing back the limits of this instrument. In 2005\, Nazih founded the Syrian Oud School in his hometown\, Lattakia\, and got more than 100 students who now work as musicians. In 2016\, Nazih moved to Montreal where he continues his musical work with friends and a new family of musicians.

SUMMARY:The Ocean Between Us
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe second installment of the MJM’s 2018-2019 Movements & Migrations exhibition series\, —The Ocean Between Us— is a research-based community photography installation by Yuula Benivolski. \n***extended to June 22\, 2019!*** \nRussian-Jewish artist Yuula Benivolski has interviewed and photographed Jewish immigrants in Montreal from eastern Europe\, North Africa\, and the Middle East —documenting stories\, heirlooms\, letters and photos of their family members who never made it across the ocean. Touching on themes of diaspora\, inter-community connections and intergenerational folklore –The Ocean Between Us creates physical and psychic threads between those who left and those who stayed. By exploring collective memory and identity through a lens of perseverance and humour\, Benivolski’s work employs the immigrant narrative to break down stigma\, to build and strengthen intergenerational ties\, and to create a sense of belonging. \nIn the evenings\, projections of the ocean from the coast of St. Petersburg\, Russia will fill the Museum’s street facing windows\, accompanied by transcribed excerpts from the Museum’s oral history collection featuring stories of Montreal’s diverse Jewish immigrant experiences. Inside the Gallery of the Museum of Jewish Montreal\, Benivolski’s research will be installed\, which includes her photography\, documentation\, and collections of letters and heirlooms for visitors to explore. \n  \nThe exhibition will be on display from February 1 to May 5\, 2019; during which the Museum will be offering related story-telling events\, artist talks\, and educational programming inspired by and exploring the exhibition’s themes. \n  \n[slide-anything id=”34156″] \n— About the Artist — \n \nRussian Born Toronto-based Artist Yuula Benivolski’s multidisciplinary practice spans photography\, video and installation. Her work explores aspects of collective memory and identity using strategies of visual archiving\, storytelling and autobiography. She received an MFA from Concordia University in Montreal and has recently exhibited at Trinity Square Video\, Art Metropole and the Vancouver Art Book Fair. \n  \n  \n— About Movements & Migrations — \nThe Movement & Migrations exhibition series confronts local and global mobilities\, whether physical\, spiritual\, ideological\, or emotional. Where an exhibition is a story\, this series creates space for visual narratives that explore displacement\, transition\, loss\, and/or the (re)creation of belonging. Through Movement & Migrations\, importance is placed on engaging with stories different than our own\, but also recognizing ourselves in the stories of others – an increasingly important and necessary encounter in the current political climate. \n  \n— About the Museum of Jewish Montreal — \nThe Museum of Jewish Montreal (MJM) is a not-for-profit organization that explores and shares the diverse histories and experiences of Montreal’s Jewish community. Through innovative\, multidisciplinary programming\, our museum provides an accessible gateway for people across Canada to learn about and interact with Montreal’s Jewish culture\, art and heritage while also enabling the public to share their stories and experiences. \nfor up-to-date information on our events and programming\, visit our website at https://museemontrealjuif.ca/events/ or follow Musée du Montréal juif – Museum of Jewish Montreal
