The program will explore how the cultural landscape and history of the state of Israel are deeply entwined with the successive waves of migration that created its artistic identity. Through conversation, discussion, and performance, they will take patrons on a travelogue from the dusty streets of old Tel Aviv in the 1930s through the modern country we know today.

In partnership with the Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU.
