SUMMARY:Iraqi Jewish Voices
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Museum of Jewish Montreal in collaboration with Sephardi Voices proudly presents IRAQI JEWISH VOICES\, a multimedia exhibition and exploration of the last generation of Iraqi-born Jews. \n  \nPlaced in the context of 2500 years of Jewish life in Iraq\, this exhibition focuses on the 1930s to 1970s\, when state-sanctioned discrimination\, violence\, and political unrest saw Iraqi Jews leave en masse\, many as refugees. The exhibition presents portraits\, oral histories\, archival images as well as a video projection highlighting the underrepresented history of Iraqi or Babylonian Jews\, a vibrant -and now exiled -community whose love for their country persisted even as they were forced to leave. \n  \nThe vernissage\, taking place on Sunday\, September 22\, 2019 at 6pm\, is free and open to the public. The short film Last Class in Baghdad\, produced by Sephardi Voices\, will be screened during the vernissage. Click here to RSVP. \n  \nAbout Sephardi Voices \nSephardi Voices is the first comprehensive digital archive that documents and preserves the life stories of Jews who lived in North Africa and the Middle East with videos\, audio\, and photographs. Sephardi Voices was founded and is led by International Director Dr. Henry Green and David Langer. Dr. Green is Professor\, Religious Studies at the University of Miami and is the Founding Director of MOSAIC: The Jewish Museum of Florida.

SUMMARY:Cancelled – Red Light Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this tour has been cancelled due to inclement weather. We thank you for your understanding\, and will be offering our special Red Light Walking Tour again in the spring! \nJoin 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/1296416 \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.

SUMMARY:Return to The Fortress by Julie Gladstone
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Museum of Jewish Montreal (MJM) proudly presents: Return to The Fortress by Julie Gladstone\, featuring a series of abstract portraits and landscapes which draw from medieval Sephardic iconography\, ancient legends\, and the native flora of Béjar\, Spain. \nDuring a recent residency and solo exhibition hosted by the David Melul Jewish Museum in the medieval village of Béjar\, Spain\, Gladstone was given an opportunity to explore her Sephardic family’s roots and a legacy of diaspora that has lasted since her family’s expulsion from the town of Béjar in 1492 during the Spanish Inquisition. Following this experience\, the artist is pleased to present an interdisciplinary body of work that considers the mythology of homeland and connection to ancestry. \nReturn to The Fortress —the first installment of the MJM’s 2019-2020 exhibition series Inside/Out— combines abstract painting and personal narrative to explore themes of identity\, belonging\, and reconciliation. By depicting motifs of protection and camouflage in her work\, Gladstone’s disguises reveal as much as they hide. Drawings\, textile work\, and an installation altarpiece further explore intersections between personal and ancestral healing\, and the duality of home as both physical place and internal space. \n  \n[slide-anything id=”35539″] \n  \nJulie Gladstone is a Canadian artist currently based in Toronto. Holding a BFA from Concordia University (Montreal)\, Gladstone has had solo exhibitions at Walnut Contemporary\, Navillus Gallery\, GN Contemporary\, Museo Judio David Melul de Béjar\, and her work has been included in group exhibitions across Canada and the US\, receiving media attention from CBC Arts\, The Guardian\, Toronto Life and Notable. \nGladstone is currently an MFA Candidate in the Interdisciplinary Studio Arts program at OCADU\, and is the recipient of the Artscape Award (2014)\, the CSCE Emerging Artist Award at the Art Gallery of Alberta (2016). She has participated in artist residencies at Artscape Gibraltar Point\, SIM International Artist Residency (Iceland)\, and MUSE (Montreal). Her work can be found in private collections in Canada\, the US\, Germany and England\, the City of Edmonton\, the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers\, The David Melul Jewish Museum\, and El Ayuntamiento de Bejar. \nIn 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. \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. \nJoin us for the Vernissage on Thursday\, October 24 from 7pm to 9pm\, and again on Sunday\, October 27 for Tête-à-tête: Artist Julie Gladstone in Conversation with Emma Haraké
