Connecting to Jewishness Through Art: Robin Bernstein and Ronit Shalem
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Hear from "California Jewish Open" artists Robin Bernstein and Ronit Shalem on how they express and explore their Jewish identities through their vibrant, texture-rich artworks. In this in-gallery talk, presented as part of the series "Connecting to Jewishness through Art," these two artists will share insights into their artistic practice, creative choices of media, and their artworks in the exhibition. Join Bernstein and Shalem in the gallery to gain a deeper understanding of the intersections between art, culture, and Jewish life.
About the Series
This program is part of the series Connecting with Jewishness through Art, a monthly series of gallery programs with artists featured in the "California Jewish Open," discussing how their artistic practice expresses their Judaism or Jewish identity. At each program, two artists will come together in conversation with each other, the artwork, and the audience to provide context and insights into the complexities of their artwork.
About the Exhibition
The Museum's first major open call exhibition invited Jewish-identifying artists in California to submit artworks in response to a central question: How are artists looking to the many aspects of Jewish culture, identity, and community to foster, reimagine, hold, or discover connection? The resulting exhibition brings together the work of forty-seven artists reflecting on their connection to Judaism, the world, and their own history. Through a wide range of media, including paintings, sculptures, interactive video games, video works, photographs, and more, the "California Jewish Open" illustrates some of the myriad ways in which these artists' Jewish identity informs their connection to the world at large-and offers a window into the universal human need for connection in all its complexity.
