SEE EVENT DETAILS
Join "California Jewish Open" artists J. Ruth Gendler and Cheselyn Amato at The Contemporary Jewish Museum for a dynamic conversation in the gallery, where you'll discover the intersections of art, spirituality, and transformation. Gendler, celebrated for her insightful writing and evocative visual art, will share her experiences as a teaching artist and her contributions to the artistic community. Amato, known for her multifaceted artistic practice that integrates visual arts with sound and performance, will discuss her commitment to creating sacred spaces and fostering human connections. Together, they will delve into their shared interests in the power of art to inspire and heal, and shed new light on their artworks on view in the exhibition.
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.
