Upheaval GLOBAL CONFERENCE FOR JEWISH MUSEUMS

NEW DIRECTIONS FOR CURATORIAL PRACTICE All functions of Jewish museum work were rearranged by the pandemic. For curators creating exhibitions, the consequences—both short-term and long-term—are profound. As Jewish museums around the world reopen and engage audiences both digitally and in person, how will curatorial work evolve? What are the new ideas around exhibitions that could launch a renaissance for our field in the midst of uncertainty and the rethinking of priorities? In this session we’ll hear from curators and innovators exploring the tensions in exhibition work: from hyper-local experiences to ones for global audiences; from shared authority to new forms of expertise; from intimate experiences to those that bring us together; and from exhibitions as cultural experiences to those that strive for social change. Speakers ABBY LEIBMAN President & CEO, MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger HEIDI RABBEN Senior Curator, Contemporary Jewish Museum JOANNE ROSENTHAL Independent Curator, UK DIEGO ROTMAN Head of the Department of Theatre Studies, Hebrew University of Jerusalem Moderated by EMILY BILSKI Independent Curator, Israel
