Join the Jew­ish Muse­um and Jew­ish Book Coun­cil for a con­ver­sa­tion with authors and cre­ators whose work demon­strates the impor­tance of sto­ry­telling in Black and Jew­ish com­mu­ni­ties across var­i­ous dis­ci­plines. Hear from Michael Twit­ty, culi­nary his­to­ri­an and author of Kosher­soul, Alyson Rich­mond and Shaunna Edwards, co-authors of The Thread Col­lec­tors, and Adam McK­in­ney, Artis­tic Direc­tor of Pitts­burgh Bal­let The­ater. The con­ver­sa­tion mod­er­at­ed by Kendell Pinkney, found­ing Artis­tic Direc­tor of the Work­shop, will explore how artists use their cre­ative prac­tices, from his­tor­i­cal fic­tion and visu­al art to food and per­for­mance, as the space to tell sto­ries. Copies of Kosher­soul and The Thread Col­lec­tors will be avail­able for pur­chase after the event.

This pro­gram is inspired by key themes in the exhi­bi­tion Draw Them In, Paint Them Out: Tren­ton Doyle Han­cock Con­fronts Philip Guston.
