Inspired by minimalist concert and theater posters, this series of images — one for each parsha, or Torah portion — retells familiar stories in surprising ways. Artist Hillel Smith will speak about the images and the process of creating them, including careful readings of Biblical texts. He will also put the project in a greater context of contemporary Jewish art and visual storytelling from the last 1800 years, demonstrating how Jews across the ages have always been engaged in infusing their faith with the aesthetics of their time. Hillel Smith is an artist and designer focused on re-imagining the potential of Judaica, utilizing contemporary media to create new manifestations of traditional forms. He has painted dynamic Jewish murals around the world, including a new one at the Edlavitch JCC here in Washington, DC, and is the founder of the Jewish Street Art Festival. He revitalizes ancient rituals with projects including Parsha Posters and the GIF the Omer counter, encouraging creative reconsideration of religious practice. Seeing Hebrew as the visual glue that binds Jews together across time and space, he also teaches Jewish typographic history, using print as a lens for Jewish life and culture. Making fun and engaging content is similarly the crux of his work as a designer for clients including HIAS, PJ Library, and Patton Oswalt. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ajlcac" group.
