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:Long Distance: A Storytelling Evening
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with our exhibit The Ocean Between Us\, the Museum and our partners Next Dor and Moishe House will be holding a storytelling event centred around the theme of long distance. The event will feature a variety of community stories about “long distances\,” interpreted broadly as physical separations or obstacles\, mental or emotional challenges\, or metaphorical distances through time\, transformations\, or failures and successes. In honour of JDAIMwe are especially interested in sharing stories of disability. \nDo you have a story that you’d like to share about a long-distance relationship\, a life-changing journey\, or an obstacle that you’ve had to face? Is there an emotional hurdle\, spiritual challenge\, or psychological struggle that you’d like to talk about? Do you have a story to share about experiencing a significant change over time\, a mental or physical transformation\, a high or a low point\, or having to take extra steps and go the distance? \nIf you’d like to share your story at this event\, please contact Aviv (aviv@imjm.ca)\, Luisa (Luisa.Sinacore@federationcja.org )\, Jesse (jaywillrob@gmail.com )\, or Orly (orly.fruchter@gmail.com) with a brief description! Stories should be approximately 5-10 minutes in length\, and can be told in English or French. \nEntrance for this event is pay what you can.

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.

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

SUMMARY:Seeking the Fabled City: Book Event
DESCRIPTION:*The Museum can accommodate a limited number of guests for this event. Registration is therefore suggested via the link below* \nREGISTER HERE – ATTENDANCE IS FREE \nThe Museum of Jewish Montreal\, Concordia Institute for Canadian Jewish Studies and Penguin Random House Canada invite you for an evening of discussion between Allan Levine (author of Seeking the Fabled City) and Ira Robinson (Chair and Director of the Concordia Institute for Canadian Jewish Studies). The discussion will focus on the trends and patterns of Canadian Jewish history over the course of 250 years—the evolution of “Jewish Canadians” into “Canadian Jews” and the acceptance of tolerance as an integral aspect of Canadian society on the Canadian Jewish community. Why is Canada arguably one of the best places in the world for Jewish life? Discussion will be followed by Q&A and book signing. \nABOUT THIS BOOK…\nIn this definitive and meticulously researched account of the Jewish experience in Canada\, award-winning and critically acclaimed author Allan Levine documents a story that is rich\, accessible\, often surprising\, and epic in its scope. Relying on an abundance of primary sources and first-hand documentation and interviews\, Seeking the Fabled City chronicles the successes and failures\, the obstacles overcome and those not conquered\, of a historic journey and the people who travelled it.\nSeeking the Fabled City is a story that unfolds over 250 years–from the decade after the conquest of New France in 1759\, when small numbers of Sephardic Jews of Spanish and Portuguese descent arrived in British North America\, through the great wave of Russian and Eastern European Jewish immigration at the turn of the twentieth century\, to the present\, in which Canada’s large Jewish community\, no longer hindered by the anti-Semitism of the past\, is free to flourish. This is a chronicle of a people that takes place at hundreds of locales across the country–mainly in the large urban centres of Montreal\, Toronto\, Vancouver\, and Winnipeg\, but also in west coast and maritime villages and tiny prairie towns–in a riveting drama with a cast of thousands. \nABOUT THIS AUTHOR…\nALLAN LEVINE has written thirteen books including Toronto: Biography of a City (2014) and King: William Lyon Mackenzie King: A Life Guided by the Hand of Destiny (2011)\, which won the Alexander Kennedy Isbister Award for Non-Fiction. His book Coming of Age: A History of the Jewish People of Manitoba (2009) won the McNally-Robinson Book of the Year and the Best History Book Award at the Canadian Jewish Book Awards in 2010\, and was the co-winner of the J.I. Segal Prize in Canadian Jewish History.

SUMMARY:ZEI GEZUNT // PORTE-TOI BIEN // KEEP WELL
DESCRIPTION:  \nZEI GEZUNT // PORTE-TOI BIEN // KEEP WELL is a cross-generational collaboration between Lejb Pilanski and his grandson Sean Wainsteim that tells the story of an immigrant for whom resourcefulness and an adaptable nature were necessary means of survival. His improvised household objects — at turns whimsical\, practical\, and emotional — are displayed alongside archival documents that map Lejb’s journey as a refugee following World War II\,  from Eastern Europe to Montreal and finally Toronto\, where he worked as a sweatshop tailor by day and tinkered in his workshop at night. \nThe exhibition bears an aesthetic echo of Duchamp’s readymades\, but with the emotion and immediacy of a rediscovered family album.  Each piece is paired with a handwritten quote from Lejb\, lending a sense of intimacy to each unique but oddly familiar object. As Sean describes\, “[l]ike physical manifestations of his resourcefulness and emotional resilience\, Lejb’s bold\, honest creations are full of originality and joy\, while never forgetting their past.” \nEntrance to the exhibition is free. \n \n\n  \nAbout the Artists \n \nLejb Pilanski\, the son of a tailor and handy-man\, was born in Poland in 1919. During World War Two\, Lejb was in the Russian Army. His entire family perished. After the war\, Lejb met Ester\, his future wife. They were smuggled into France where they had a daughter. In 1950\, they entered Canada through Montreal as Displaced Person Refugees. \nAt 99\, Lejb still lives in the modest Toronto home he bought in the 1960s. A former sweatshop tailor\, he constructed a sewing room and workshop in his basement. There he invents and innovates\, turning used objects into unique creations. \n \nThe proud grandson of Lejb Pilanski\, Sean Wainsteim is an award winning filmmaker\, writer and artist living in Toronto\, Canada. A graduate of OCAD\, Sean splits his time between commercial\, documentary and personal film projects. Sean often uses magic-realism to explore the spaces between history and memory. \nSean’s commercial work can be found at www.seanwainsteim.com. \nSean began assembling ZEI GEZUNT // PORTE-TOI BIEN // KEEP WELL shortly after his grandmother Ester\, Lejb’s wife\, passed in January 2017. Sean tried to approach the creation and curation of the show in the same exploratory whimsical spirit he finds in his grandfather’s objects. \n  \n  \n  \nAbout Movements & Migration Exhibition Series \nZEI GEZUNT // PORTE-TOI BIEN // KEEP WELL inaugurates the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s 2018-2019 exhibition series Movements & Migrations. The 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.

SUMMARY:Dislocation Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Dislocation is a research based pop-up art exhibition featuring the work of Jordanna Ibghy and Darren Rabinowitz. \nOver 500 years after their forced expulsion\, the Jews of Spain continue to identify as Sephardic (Hebrew word for Spanish). Dislocation investigates the role of place in shaping the artists’ Sephardic identities. Through movement studies in Spain’s medieval Jewish quarters\, the artists’ work seeks to develop an embodied understanding of Sephardic identity and presents a series of choreographic interpretations of personal and collective memory\, mythology\, history\, and culture. \nJordanna Ibghy is a Montreal-born architectural designer and artist whose work focuses on movement in urban space. \nDarren Rabinowitz is an educator and movement artist based in New York City. \nDislocation will be on display and open to the public at Musée du Montréal juif – Museum of Jewish Montreal from October 9 to 21\, 2018. \nView Facebook Event \nFREE

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Architecture of the Ephemeral and Eternal
DESCRIPTION:The Sukkah – Between Eternal and Ephemeral: Migrations and Temporary Structures from Germany to Bedouin Communities \nJoin Diego Rotman (artist-in-residence and visiting professor\, Queen’s University) of the Sala-manca group to discover the incredible stories behind their work and collaborative efforts creating two sukkot. A sukkah is a temporary dwelling made with simple materials and commonly used for eating\, entertaining\, and even sleeping. These structures are built during Sukkot\, a seven-day autumnal Jewish celebration\, which commemorates the forty years of travel through the wilderness after the exodus from Egypt. The artists use the tradition-rich structure to bring forth contemplations on temporality and exile\, proposing a contemporary reading of the sukkah both as a concrete object and as a symbol with their works. \nThe first\, The Eternal Sukkah (2014)\, a formerly-“illegal” building made of construction waste purchased from the exiled Jahalin Bedouin community\, was rebuilt and sold to the Israel Museum as a piece of high art. The other\, The Deller Sukkah (2017)\, an unauthorized\, meticulous replica of a painted wooden sukkah from Germany\, was smuggled to British Mandate Palestine at the outbreak of WWII\, and recreated in the basement of Jerusalem’s former leper colony. \nThe stories of the Bedouin/Jewish “Eternal Sukkah” and the metaphorical and historical composite that is the “Deller Sukkah” explore a dialogue between the dichotomies of nomadism and ownership; between enforced transience and transience as a religious value; between absentee landscapes and present ones; and between individual artistic endeavours of different historical periods\, each of which\, in its own way\, exemplifies the drama of its time. \nThis presentation will be in English and is co-presented with Concordia’s Curating and Public Scholarship Lab\, the Goethe-Institut Montreal\, McGill – ICAN\, and Mamuta Art and Research Center (Jerusalem). \nView Facebook Event \nTICKETS $5

SUMMARY:Moving On
DESCRIPTION:  \nAn autobiographical painting series which pulls viewers into a reflective narrative that maps the artist’s story leaving her ultra-Orthodox family and community at 17 to avoid an arranged marriage\, her first years in the secular world\, and her process of healing and self-discovery through art-making. Moving On | Aller de l’avant tells Erenthal’s story vignette-style – reminiscent of a wordless novel – through individual\, powerful memories from different chapters of her life. Taken together\, Moving On | Aller de l’avant weaves a narrative at turn heart-wrenching and uplifting – the works themselves a testament to the finding of her Purpose\, the title of the final piece showing Erenthal painting her iconic watchful self-portraits. \n  \nSara\, named by ArtNet as #1 of 10 rising street artists of 2017\, has a multi-disciplinary art practice which focuses on themes of displacement\, survival\, and liberation. Born into an ultra-Orthodox Jewish family\, she left home at 17 to avoid an arranged marriage and has spent the next two decades creating art and traveling the world. She works across mediums such as painting\, sculpting\, and performance\, often integrating everyday materials into her process. Outside her studio practice\, Erenthal is also known for painting on discarded objects in the streets giving them a new life. Repurposing these objects into artworks has become an impulse as she ventures through cities. Erenthal’s work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions in New York and internationally\, in addition to mural commissions and public art projects throughout New York City.
