Join No Silence on Race for a screening of Periphery, a short film that explores multi-ethnic Jewish identity featuring narratives from Black Jewish Torontonians. We’ll journey through the rich tapestry of Black Jewish narratives connecting them to the legacies of Black Diasporic communities in Tkaronto-Toronto.

Periphery is a photographic and film exhibition created in partnership by No Silence on Race (NSOR) and the Ontario Jewish Archives (OJA). Periphery is a short film about ethnic diversity in the Jewish community in Toronto, Canada. Sharing narratives from individuals of multiracial and multiethnic backgrounds, Periphery creates space to look, listen, and learn from participants as they share their experiences and explore ideas of representation, intersectionality, ethnicity, race, and sexuality. Periphery invites us to appreciate the richness of Jewish identity and cultural expression while illustrating the feeling of grappling to belong. The film and portraits draws our attention inwards and invites us to examine how we foster and support a broader and richer view of the Jewish community.

What to Expect:

  1. Opening Remarks from No Silence on Race, Museum of Toronto, and Jill Andrews
  2. Time to explore Museum of Toronto’s Black Diasporas Tkaronto-Toronto exhibition after hours
  3. Film Screening (run time of ~27 minutes)
  4. A facilitated conversation period with the creators of Periphery
