The JMB invites American author Joshua Cohen to explore the cultural legacy of publisher and department store entrepreneur Salman Schocken. Drawing on selected objects from the museum’s collection, Cohen reflects on the history of the Schocken publishing house in the exhibition, using it to inform a contemporary perspective on culture and capital, on department stores and museums and, ultimately, on questions of (re)appropriation and belonging.
