CULTURE LAB: MARGIN
Culture Lab is an interdisciplinary arts program designed to foster new work and provoke a community-wide conversation about arts and culture that is grounded in Jewish tradition.
The third event, Culture Lab: Margin, was an interactive art installation, created by a group of five artists working in various disciplines, including choreography, sculpture and installation, storytelling and visual art, selected from a peer-nominated pool. Together they collaborated on an exploration of the margin and the way it informs Jewish identity and experience.
The artists are Josh Friedman, a sculptor with an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art; Rebecca Pappas, a dancer, choreographer, and Adjunct Professor of Dance at Pasadena City College; Eli Rarey, a filmmaker and storyteller focused on issues of gender, sexuality and identity; Kristen Smiarowski, a dancer and choreographer who holds an MFA in dance from UCLA; and Joanne Tolkoff an artist, graphic designer, videographer and producer.
