Dawn LaRochelle

Antisemitism, Art, and Cultural Life

Antisemitism does not stop at the doors of our museums, galleries, theaters, or literary institutions. Drawing on her experiences as Executive Director of the Maine Jewish Museum, examples from Maine’s arts community, and developments in the wider worlds of the arts, culture, and publishing, Dawn LaRochelle will explore how antisemitism is surfacing in cultural spaces today. What does it look like? What happens when Jewish artists, stories, and institutions become proxies for a political conflict? And what responsibilities do cultural organizations have when artistic expression, political activism, and antisemitism collide?

Attending online? We will share a Zoom link soon.

Registration opens soon.
