On view from March 26 at the Miles Nadal JCC
Virtual opening event: March 25 at 8PM – Register here
Jewish Street Art Festival discussion: March 31 at 7:30PM Registration required.
Dwelling in a Time of Plagues is a Jewish creative response to real-world plagues of our time. Collectively, the commissions in this constellation of art projects around North America grapple with contemporary crises: the global pandemic, institutional racism, xenophobia, ageism, forced isolation, and the climate crisis. In Toronto, Bareket Kezwer’s mural at the Miles Nadal JCC will engage with the “plague of binary thinking.”
