In 1989, the Jewish artist R.B. Kitaj coined the term Diasporist Art, calling for an art “in which a pariah people, an unpopular, stigmatized people, is taken up, pondered in their dilemmas.” Today, a new generation of Jewish artists is pondering what it means to be displaced or uprooted, sketching out and creating connections across many communities and identities. This exhibition is guest curated by Dr. Aaron Rosen, Executive Director of The Clemente Course in the Humanities; Founder/Director of the Parsonage Gallery. Artists include Rosalba Breazeale, Matt Jones, Susan Klein, Aaron Margolis, Meirav Ong, and Naomi Safran-Hon.
