SUMMARY:Self-Loving Jew: Comic Making Workshop with Jonathan Rotsztain
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us at the Museum of Jewish Montreal for Jonathan Rotsztain‘s “Self-Loving Jew” comic making workshop!   \nIn this hands-on artist-guided workshop\, Rotsztain will introduce his own comic work and and other graphic narratives around identity. Following a brief discussion on Jewish religious and cultural history\, participants will come together to share their own views on ways to reconcile their own cultural baggage or Jewish identity to the challenges of modern life. Rotsztain will then lead participants of any experience or skill-level through the process of creating their own Self-Loving Jew comics\, empowering participants to articulate their own self-love strategies in easily digestible\, highly shareable comic strips! \n  \nThis workshop is open to participants of all backgrounds and ages! We ask that participants under the age of 12 be accompanied by an adult who is also participating in the workshop. Tickets are $7 (plus applicable fees)\, supplies will be provided but participants are welcome to bring their own sketchbooks\, favourite pens\, pencils or rulers!  \nPlease join us after the workshop at the opening vernissage for Jonathan Rotsztain’s Patterns installation on display at The Museum of Jewish Montreal. \nBUY TICKETS \n  \nAbout Jonathan Rotsztain’s “Self-Loving Jew” comic series \nJonathan Rotsztain’s “Self-Loving Jew” comic series asserts a contemporary\, cultural Jewish identity. The work is a secular reclamation of the self-hating Jew slur. As published in the Canadian Jewish News\, The Forward and Koffler Centre of the Arts digital platform\, each comic book essay seeks to briefly explore a topic of religious significance while challenging and embracing the various contradictions of reconciling these practices with secular life.

SUMMARY:Patterns by Jonathan Rotsztain
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us on at the Museum of Jewish Montreal to celebrate the Montreal debut of Jonathan Rotsztain’s Patterns installation. Following our Self-Loving Jew comic making workshop with Jonathan Rotsztain\, the Museum will be open to the public to meet the artist behind our newest window projection\, and see some of the comics produced through his comic making workshop.  \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nCash bar at fletchers \nArtist\, writer\, and cartoonist Jonathan Rotsztain’s visual narratives assert a contemporary\, cultural Jewish identity. Patterns is born out of Rotsztain’s autobiographical Self-Loving Jew comic series – which reclaims the “self-hating Jew” trope and honours Jewish tradition from a contemporary and intersectional perspective. Built around a triptych of self-portraits and a projected decorative-arts-inspired pattern\, Patterns subverts the traditional sequential comic format\, presenting itself as a non-linear collection of experiences where distance disappears and time becomes almost circular. \nIn daylight\, the series of life-size figures outwardly present moments of celebration\, reflection and torment\, which result from the cycle of processing identity\, privilege and inherited trauma. After sundown\, a motif of the artist’s neuroses appears\, much like subconscious fears emerging in dreams. This pattern mirrors textiles used for household items like curtains or wallpaper—used to adorn while camouflaging stains. It invites a closer inspection\, revealing thorny foliage evocative of a family tree\, intertwined with totems of Jewish cultural heritage (challah loaves\, tablets of the covenant\, hamsas\, serpents\, and Leonard Cohen’s unified hearts). \nThe vermiculated foliage surrounds oblong vignettes. Depictions of recurring childhood nightmares\, stirred by his grandparents’ experiences in the Holocaust\, are contrasted with dreams of longing for a sense of home and rootedness. Other depictions include the artist embracing a Havdalah candle\, which acts as the beam between scales–where icons of colonial-settler Canadiana are outweighed by a mound of earth with a tobacco plant. The artist clings to his Jewish immigrant heritage while adapting to contemporary secular values\, and acknowledging the complexity of rebuilding a life from the ashes of genocide in a country which is still working towards reconciling the erasure of Indigenous peoples’ presence and contributions. Rotsztain ultimately reveals his many faces through examining the inconspicuous root causes of inherited patterns of behaviour and thinking. \n  \n– About Jonathan Rotsztain’s “Self-Loving Jew” comic series – \nJonathan Rotsztain’s “Self-Loving Jew” comic series asserts a contemporary\, cultural Jewish identity.

SUMMARY:Inside the Yiddish School: Historic Building Tour Launch
DESCRIPTION:Travel back in time to the 1940s and 50s to visit a Yiddish institution that helped shape Jewish identity in Montreal – the Peretz Shule. Telling the story through the eyes of several students who attended the school\, our new tour takes a closer look at the history of Montreal’s vibrant Yiddish community\, and the importance the school held for those living in the neighbourhood now called the Plateau. What was taught there? What challenges did the students and teachers face? How did the school impact the broader community? Join us to explore how the Peretz Shule was more than just a school\, and how Yiddish was more than just a language. \nThis tour is delivered in partnership with the Maison de l’amitié\, a community centre (in the former Peretz Shule building) dedicated to promoting social integration of immigrants and reducing cultural and linguistic divisions within the community. \nTo book your ticket in February or March\, please use this link: https://www.eztix.co/ezbook/en/1429742 \nPhoto Peretz Shule class courtesy of the Jewish Public Library Archives.

SUMMARY:4 Glasses: A Tu B'Shevat Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Join us and the Wandering Chew for a Tu B’Shevat celebration! Tu B’Shevat literally translates as the New Year for Trees and is often seen as a day to honour and celebrate environmentalism. Although Tu B’Shevat falls in the middle of winter in Montreal\, it marks the beginning of the growing season in warmer climates. Kabbalists in 16th century Spain created the ritual of a Tu B’Shevat seder to celebrate the holiday\, which involved drinking four cups of wine and sampling an abundance of fruits and nuts. \nWe’re taking inspiration from this ritual but\, as we tend to do\, we’re putting a modern spin on it. Let’s celebrate by having Nick Hamilton\, a local sommelier\, lead us through a wine tasting of four glasses of natural wine: a white\, an orange\, a rose\, and a red. We’ll also have some nibbles that feature the seven species of biblical Israel (wheat\, barley\, grapes\, figs\, pomegranates\, olives\, and dates) that are traditionally eaten on Tu B’Shevat. To top it all off\, Aroma Jockey Jarome\, a perfumer and olfactory artist\, will be infusing the evening with sensational smells. \nTickets for this event are $45 including wine and nibbles\, and they can be purchased in advance here.

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:Artist talk with Dina Goldstein
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special afternoon with internationally-acclaimed contemporary Canadian artist Dina Goldstein.\n\n\n \n\n\nSunday\, March 8th 2020 from 4:00pm to 5:30pm at the Museum of Jewish Montreal (RC01-4040 boul. St-Laurent). \n\n\n \n\n\nDina will be speaking about her practice\, inspiration\, and iconic photographic series\, including Gods of Suburbia\, opening March 7th at Art Mûr\, and Snapshots from the Garden of Eden\, currently on exhibition at the Museum of Jewish Montreal. The artist’s talk will be followed by an audience Q&A.\n\n\n \n\n\nDina Goldstein’s artist talk is free and open to the public; pre-registration is encouraged due to limited capacity. To register\, please visit: http://bit.ly/ArtTalkGoldstein\n\n\n \n\n\nAbout the Artist\n\n\nDina Goldstein\, b. 1969\n\n\nDina began her career over 25 years ago as a photojournalist\, evolving from a documentary and editorial photographer into an independent artist focusing on large-scale productions of nuanced photographic tableaux. Her work is highly conceptual and complex\, incorporating cultural archetypes and iconography with satirical narratives inspired by the collective unconscious and the human condition. The vivid and provocative still imagery emerges through an entirely cinematic technique\, with Dina’s established methodology following a precise pre- to post production process. Leaning into the visual language of pop surrealism\, she stages narrative compositions that expose the underbelly of modern life\, challenging the notions of cultural influence and inherent belief systems.

SUMMARY:Postponed: Games I Don’t Want to Play: A Performance Piece
DESCRIPTION:***This event has been postponed\, we will update the event date once it has been rescheduled.*** \nThe Museum of Jewish Montreal is thrilled to present the first event of our 2020 Microgrants Program – “Games I Don’t Want to Play” by Joseph Glaser and Michelle Soicher! \n“Games I Don’t Want to Play” is an immersive performance piece about Our Lives\, Anxieties\, and Experiences as Contemporary Jews\, the Game!™. This show makes real how we are required to fragment our own identity to fit into the myriad experiences of our lives. We constantly have That Voice that asks: Which Jew should I be in this situation? How much of my everyday life can I show to my friends\, family\, synagogue group\, or strangers on the street. How does one inhabit these spaces that require\, so often\, to deny aspects of ourselves in order to be accepted? Now\, That Voice is the referee in a cage match between us and our anxiety. \nWe’ll be playing two games: \nRound 1: “Am I Getting Clocked?” The Hand Game! \n~ a song and dance intermission! ~ \nRound 2: The Coping Olympics \nGames have set rules and goals and they have set consequences. Our games are unfair\, there’s no way to win them\, you just kind of do them. Like the glass at our weddings\, these games are broken\, mournful\, and joyous\, and hey\, TRADITION! \nNO AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION REQUIRED \nCome see us play as hard as we can for as long as we can. \nWHEN: Thursday\, March 19 from 7pm to 9pm\, PWYC\nWHERE: Museum of Jewish Montreal\, 4040 blvd. St-Laurent \nArtist Biographies:\nDescribed as “a voice to watch out for” by CBC’s Bill Richardson\, Joseph Glaser’s music creates space for performers and audiences alike to have out-of-the-ordinary experiences. Having had many years of training as a dancer\, Joseph looks at composition with a choreographic eye leading to pieces that are as much about physical movement as they are about sound. Joseph holds degrees from McGill University and the University of British Columbia. Notable performances include premieres by the McGill Contemporary Music Ensemble\, Caution Tape Sound Collective\, the Gryphon Trio\, the Amici Chamber Ensemble and a one-act opera with FAWN Chamber Creative. \nMichelle Soicher\, originally from Toronto\, moved to Montreal to explore all aspects of theatre making at Concordia University and since graduating she has been fortunate to collaborate with both established and emerging artists. Michelle is an alumni of the Black Theatre Workshop Artist Mentorship program and The Segal Centre’s Jewish Artist Mentorship program. Being queer and Jewish\, Michelle has a unique perspective of being an invisible minority and aims to create space for stories that have been pushed to the margins. Her creative practice is rooted in Jewish traditions of debate. Currently focusing on directing and dramaturgy\, Michelle believes that theatre should be theatrical and saturated with play\, imagination and a little discomfort. She is excited by pulling audiences from a passive to an active state. She recently directed Teesri Duniya’s production of Birthmark alongside Liz Valdez and a staged reading of Quiet for Black Theatre Workshop’s Discovery Series. \n********* \nThis microgrant program for creative or cultural exploration is a new collaboration between the Museum of Jewish Montreal and Moishe House Montreal\, providing seed funding to help young adults bring their innovative project ideas to life. By offering this funding\, we hope to give applicants the chance to pursue their interests and realize their ideas while encouraging intellectual curiosity and community building. These microgrants have been made possible through the generous support of the Morris and Rosalind Goodman Family Foundation \nInitial project support for Games I Don’t Want to Play was provided by the The Segal Centre for Performing Arts‘s Jewish Artist Mentorship Program.

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.
