SUMMARY:Network Meeting for Women & Non-binary People in Yiddish Culture
DESCRIPTION:Network Meeting for Women & Non-binary People in Yiddish Culture\n\nFreitag\, 11. September 2020\, 16:00 Uhr\nbis Sonntag\, 13. September 2020\, 22:00 Uhr \nVilla Leon\, Philipp-Koerber-Weg 1\, 90439 Nürnberg\n\n \n\n\n\nAvailable online \n\n\n+++ For German\, please scroll down +++ \nFirst International Network Meeting for Women and Non-Binary People in Yiddish Culture \n“Looking to the past in order to change the future.” \nWho is this meeting for?\nThe first network meeting for women and non-binary people in Yiddish culture will take place from 11-13 September 2020 in the Villa Leon in Nuremberg\, Bavaria\, Germany. The meeting will offer an inclusive and safe place where we welcome women* of all ages and religious backgrounds. We invite artists of all kinds to participate\, from amateurs to professional musicians and performers as well as researchers and Yiddishists\, cantors or rabbis\, journalists\, festival organisers or assistants in the cultural sector\, bookers and assistants\, agents\, visual artists\, photographers etc. The aim of the meeting is to learn from each other and from our diverse experiences. Women who are active in other\, related cultural domains are also very welcome to join us.\n*The network is trans-inclusive and welcomes all women. \n \nWhy are we organising this meeting?\nThis is the first ever network for women in Yiddish culture. The aim of the project is to create our own space where we can create new art\, support new collaborations\, facilitate professional networking\, help artists gain access to new opportunities for work\, and to increase the range of people and institutions we are working with. \nIt is high time to bring together women of all generations and all religious and cultural backgrounds. Like women in other creative economy branches (eg. “Pro Quote Film” and “Burning Issues”-Konferenz) women in Yiddish culture have also been reacting to the #Metoo debate\, and these issues continue to have an effect on our professional lives. We want to work together and support each other to create lasting change in our community. We aim to open up more space for women in existing structures and to counteract the structural inequality and lack of representation in cultural spaces. \n \nThe aim of this meeting is not to attack our male colleagues. This space is valuable as a safe space where women* can meet\, share stories\, and discuss these issues in a non-mixed context\, leading to lasting collaborations and new networks. We think it is time for women to get organised together and and set out our wishes clearly. \nWhat will happen during the meeting?\nOur approach to organising the meeting also draws on our dissatisfaction with existing structures. Therefore as much as possible we aim to work without a hierarchy\, avoiding official ‘presentations’ or ‘keynote speakers’\, and instead using working groups with moderators as a better context for sharing our experiences and planning strategies. During the three days\, alongside scheduled sessions\, participants will have space to steer the direction of the meeting\, with plenty of time left open for informal work in jams\, discussion groups\, academic exchange\, and any other ideas or initiatives that are proposed during the weekend. At the end of the weekend\, the results of the working groups will be presented in a public panel discussion. Following the weekend\, the results of the working groups will also be published online. \n \nFurther information will be available soon on our website (online from July 2019 on)\, and here on facebook.\nStay tuned!\nhttps://inemwyc.wordpress.com/\nGreetings from the organising committee:\nAndrea Pancur\, Joanna Britton\, Polina Shepherd \n———————————————————————————- \nErstes Internationales Netzwerktreffen von Frauen und non-binären Menschen in der jiddischen Kultur \n \n“Die Vergangenheit in Augenschein nehmen\, um die Zukunft zu verändern.” \nFür wen ist das Treffen gedacht?\nDas erste Netzwerktreffen von Frauen und non-binären Menschen in der jiddischen Kultur vom 11.-13. September 2020 in der Nürnberger Villa Leon soll als inklusiver\, sicherer Raum allen Frauen (cis & LGBT) jeden Alters und religiöser Ausrichtung zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Zur Teilnahme eingeladen sind Künstlerinnen aller Art – von der Amateurin zur professionellen Musikerin\, Wissenschaftlerin\, Kantorin\, Rabinerin\, Journalistin\, Festivalorganisatorin und -assistentin\, Bookerin und Assistentin\, Agentin\, Fotografin und Jiddistin.\nDas Treffen soll dazu dienen\, dass wir alle voneinander und unseren unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen lernen können. Selbstverständlich sind auch Frauen herzlich willkommen\, die in ähnlich gelagerten\, anderen kulturellen Zusammenhängen arbeiten. \n \nWarum organisieren wir das Treffen?\nLeider existiert bisher kein explizites Netzwerk für Frauen in der jiddischen Kultur. Wir wollen nun damit beginnen\, uns unseren eigenen Raum zu schaffen\, um neue Inhalte zu generieren\, die Zusammenarbeit zu fördern\, berufliche Vernetzung zu vereinfachen\, Zugang zu mehr Arbeitsfeldern zu erschließen und den Umfang der Personen und Institutionen\, mit denen wir zusammenarbeiten\, zu erweitern.\nWir denken\, dass es jetzt an der Zeit ist\, Frauen aus allen Generationen\, religiösen Ausrichtungen und jeden kulturellen Hintergrunds zusammenzubringen. Ebenso wie Frauen in anderen Bereichen der Kreativwirtschaft (z.B. “Pro Quote Film” und “Burning Issues”-Konferenz) reagieren die Frauen in der jiddischen Kultur auf die derzeitige #Metoo-Debatte und ihre Auswirkungen auf das Arbeitsleben. Wir wollen einander unterstützen\, um eine nachhaltige Veränderung zu erwirken\, mit dem Ziel\, Frauen Räume in bestehenden Netzwerken zu eröffnen und deren struktureller Benachteiligung von Frauen entgegenzutreten.\nDas Treffen richtet sich explizit nicht gegen Männer\, vielmehr wollen wir ohne Männer unsere Ideen aus Frauensicht diskutieren und uns nachhaltig miteinander vernetzen. Denn es ist an der Zeit\, dass sich Frauen untereinander organisieren und sich stärker für ihre Forderungen einsetzen. \n \nWie ist der Ablauf des Treffens?\nUnser Ansatz des Netzwerktreffens versteht sich als Kritik an den bestehenden Strukturen. Wir wollen so hierarchiefrei wie möglich arbeiten\, auf Vorträge verzichten und uns deswegen in moderierten Arbeitsgruppen austauschen. Neben der inhaltlichen Arbeit wird es während des dreitägigen Treffens umfangreichen “Open Space” geben: Jams\, informelle Diskussionsgruppen\, informellen akademischen Austausch\, kurz: anything goes. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeitsgruppen werden zum Abschluss des Treffens im Rahmen einer öffentlichen Podiumsdiskussion vorgestellt. Im Nachgang des Treffens sollen die Ergebnisse der Arbeitsgruppen im Internet veröffentlicht werden. \nAlle weiteren Informationen erhaltet auf unserer Webpage (online ab Juli 2019) und hier auf facebook. \nStay tuned!\nhttps://inemwyc.wordpress.com/\nHerzliche Grüße \n\nRelated Images:

You can pay by PayPal to paypal.me/MerlinMShepherd\nor use a debit or credit card (or PayPal) here:\n£5   \n£10 \n\nL’chaim 1910 (9’20”) dir A. Mietr and K. Ganzen\nThe first film made that shows Jewish life from the inside. For the first time in cinema Jews were represented as real characters\, not stereotypes. Considered to be the “birth” of Jewish cinema.\nBased on a Jewish folk song.\nRukhele’s parents make her marry rich Matteus\, but she loves poor Shlomo. In two years Rukhl has a child but she can’t forget Shlomo and so she leaves Matteus taking her child with to be with her lover. Matteus starts to drink. Years pass and a beautiful rich woman and child pay a surprise visit to the alcoholic Matteus. After they leave Matteus finds a note from his guests explaining that it was his Rukhele and their daughter. She wanted her daughter to see her father.\n \n\nSara’s Grief 1913 (13’43”) dir A. Arkatov\nThe director of this film wrote the screenplay for L’chaim.\nOne of the first Jewish cinema dramas about moral\, religious and emotional ethics.\nThe doctor’s diagnosis for Sara and Isaak changed their lives completely. Unable to have children\, Isaak visits his Rabbi who tells his that according to Jewish law\, they must divorce. Isaak can’t bear this failure of their marriage. Overcome with grief\, he commits suicide. After some time Sara realises that she is pregnant\, but there is no comfort for her own torment.\n \nJews and the Land 1927 (17’46”) dir Abram Room\nThis extraordinary documentary describes Soviet Russia’s attempt to create a colony of collective farms of Jews\, in Crimea in the 1920s. It is the only remaining art document of this fascinating period of Jewish (and Soviet) history. The film shows Jews working the land\, handling animals\, driving tractors! The text was written by Soviet poet Vladimir Mayakovsky.\n\nRelated Images:
