After the revolution, who`s going to pick up the garbage?
Join Lilith magazine for a screening of "Maintenance Artist," the first feature-length documentary about groundbreaking artist Mierle Laderman Ukeles, at IFC Center. Ukeles has been a revolutionary force in contemporary art since the 1960s, becoming the NYC Sanitation Department’s first artist-in-residence in 1977, and achieving global artistic celebrity. Born in Denver to an Orthodox rabbi, most of Ukeles’ work presents as secular, but it’s driven by a radically humanist and feminist understanding of Orthodoxy.
Stay tuned afterward for a talkback with Emmy-nominated filmmaker Toby Perl Freilich and Pamela Grossman, who profiled Ukeles in the latest issue of Lilith.
When: Sunday, April 26, 3:15 pm
Where: IFC Center, 323 6th Ave, New York, NY 10014

In “My View from the 4th Generation,” Anna Štičková reflects on how, when she was growing up in a secular Czech Jewish family, her consciousness of being Jewish came through two people: her “Uncle” Hary, who visited her family from Holland and had a strange number tattooed on his arm, and her grandmother’s stories about Evicka, one of the people who did not come back from the war. Eva was six when she had to go to the gas chamber.

Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) begins tonight. Here is what psychologist and rabbi Susan Schnur saw and heard—and understood—when in 1991 she reported for Lilith on the first-ever gathering of Jews who were hidden as children during the Holocaust. Her rendering of their excruciating experience of concealing or never knowing one`s origin or identity was so scrupulously accurate, and her conclusions so profound, that at the 25th anniversary gathering of this group they invited Susan Schnur to read her report aloud.
