Event Info: 

  Through their artworks in the "California Jewish Open," artists Tiffany Shlain and Amy Trachtenberg explore shared themes of feminism, matrilineal legacy, and how women are uniquely positioned to impact our world. Shlain, an Emmy-nominated filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist, and Trachtenberg, a painter and sculptor known for her work in public art and installations, will come together in the gallery to delve into the intersections of identity and heritage, and their works on view in the exhibition.

About the Exhibition
The Museum's first major open call exhibition invited Jewish-identifying artists in California to submit artworks in response to a central question: How are artists looking to the many aspects of Jewish culture, identity, and community to foster, reimagine, hold, or discover connection? The resulting exhibition brings together the work of forty-seven artists reflecting on their connection to Judaism, the world, and their own history. Through a wide range of media, including paintings, sculptures, interactive video games, video works, photographs, and more, the "California Jewish Open" illustrates some of the myriad ways in which these artists' Jewish identity informs their connection to the world at large-and offers a window into the universal human need for connection in all its complexity.
