New Works Wednesdays with Nadia Sabri
New Works Wednesdays with Gila Green
Nadia Sabri, with contributing researchers, discusses the new collection Views of Jewish Morocco: Forms, Places, Narratives.
In this interactive session Nadia Sabri will have a discussion with book contributors Abdou Filaly Ansary, Vanessa Paloma Elbaz, and Brahim El Guabli.
Wednesday, 3 February at 12:00PM EST
The book is a multidisciplinary collective work that focuses on the memory of Moroccan Judaism through autobiographical accounts, testimonies, artistic experiences, and critical writings that shed light on them. These contributions weave an unprecedented set of texts and works of art, combining temporalities around memories of a world lost forever, of a Morocco that the young ignore, and that this book proposes to revisit in a pluralistic manner. The collection encompasses a contemporary reflection on the scope of maintaining the memory of Moroccan Judaism.
