The first event in the “Hevrutah” (“Friendship”) series is on the topic of “Memory/Place.” Using works by Barbara Honigmann, Pierre Nora and Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi, Yemima Hadad, Netanel Olhoeft, Dekel Peretz, and Barbara Steiner, together with participants from the audience, will discuss what a ‘memory of place’ is, how places are shaped by memory, and how the memory of places captures the imagination of the people living in them. The “Hevrutah” will be moderated by Daniel Schönpflug.

At the center of the program accompanying Frédéric Brenner’s exhibition is the practice of “Hevrutah” (“friendship”), a gathering for the purpose of shared learning. We invite the exhibition’s cast and the public to come together over a text, to read it and discuss it.
