Why is This Night Different?
Maya Bernstein

"From the stories generously shared with me and passed down to me through my Bubbie’s journals, I began making art. The installation I created for the FENTSTER window gallery is the most ambitious project to date inspired by this past... [it] serves as a portal, connecting across time and generations—from grandmothers to granddaughters. It reflects on the bonds strengthened by the transmission of knowledge, community care, and resourceful perseverance."
In “I Will Relate to You," Meichen Waxer looks to an inherited box of family ephemera and community stories to stitch together the history of Jewish life in northern Ontario. This installation is on view until December 7, 2024 at FENTSTER presented together with the Ontario Jewish Archives with the support of the Kultura Collective. Curated by Donna Bernardo-Ceriz, Naama Freeman and Evelyn Tauben. Learn more at Lilih Online — link in bio.
