About this event

Tuesday, August 24th

FENTSTER iz finf! Canada’s most public Jewish art space celebrates its 5th birthday! Take a look back with curator Evelyn Tauben at the contemporary art installations that have been created especially for their window gallery in downtown Toronto. Exploring the Jewish experience through art, FENTSTER exhibitions can be seen day or night from the sidewalk, even during lockdowns. This multimedia session will offer a behind-the-scenes look at these projects including a taste of the ritual, tradition, personal narrative, and collective history that have inspired FENSTER artists, including Jewish and Yiddish literature, theatre, and song. From the Credit River in Ontario to the Vistula River in Poland, from a kitchen in Winnipeg to a shul in Morocco – we’ll journey to these places and more through site-specific works of art that transform a simple storefront window into a place of connection, creativity, conversation, and community…. even during COVID.
