SCHEDULE SPOTLIGHT
Thursday
July 4th
Honoring Grief
Acknowledging the immense grief and loss in the world right now, we will explore various modalities to express and honor this grief, and how this can inform and deepen our artistic, cultural, & movement work. Thursday workshops include: Naming the Lost: Making Big, Slow, Majestic Memorials with Jenny Romaine; Tkhines & Embodied Grief Practices with Noam Lerman, and more.
Thursday's evening program will be a conversation, performance, and teach-in with KlezCummington festival artists exploring how Yiddish songs have been used, both today and throughout history, to bring about social change and a more just world. As artists and musicians, why and how do we engage with Yiddish cultural work? What is the importance of this work in the streets, and in reshaping larger societal narratives?
The evening program will feature a Yiddish electronic concert and singalong led by Chaia. The concert will showcase the radical roots of Yiddish, using archival material, contagious beats, and, of course, our voices.
