Art/Lab

Art/Lab is a 9-month creative laboratory for Portland area contemporary Jewish artists working in a variety of media. The laboratory enables a cohort of artists to explore the intersection of Judaism, creative expression and contemporary culture in order to inspire new works.  Through text study, dialogue, and art practice we want to redefine what Jewish art and culture can be.

The Fight for Equality in Israel: Building a Shared Future for Jewish and Palestinian Citizens [THIS EVENT HAS HAPPENED]

Wednesday, Feb 21, 7 pm
eastside jewish commons | 2420 NE Sandy blvd, Portland

An intimate in-person conversation about the state of Jewish-Arab relations within Israel during this time of crisis with Jimmy Taber of the Israel-based Abraham Initiatives.

Building a truly shared society remains more crucial than ever, as the threat of intercommunal violence in mixed communities looms large, Bedouin communities lack adequate protection from rocket fire, and universities, workplaces, and other shared spaces navigate the challenges of bringing people back together. The Abraham Initiatives is working hard on all of these issues and more.

I hope you will join us to discuss what needs to be done to protect past gains, prevent future violence, and envision a different future – one that is fully equal and shared. Please bring any questions you may have about the on-the-ground reality of shared living in Israel.
