“The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there,”
- L.P. Hartley
Memory can be a strange thing. On the most basic level, it is the glue of identity, knitting together a person’s experiences. When memory works as expected, it is unremarkable. But when memory fails, or is challenged by other narratives, the results can be moving, funny, or even unsettling. Join the inaugural fellows of The Workshop for an evening of art and culture as they present works-in-progress that interrogate, dissect, provoke, subvert, and play with the many angles of memory and Jewish collective identity.
