SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Hannah Berger
DESCRIPTION:Join us with artist and writer Hannah Berger as she discusses her practice and shares her experiences from her time as artist-in-residence at Venezia Contemporanea in Spring 2026.  \nWhile in Venice\, Hannah explored the etymological origins of the word “ghetto” in reference to the site of foundry waste on top of which the Venetian Jewish Ghetto was originally built. Taking shape across multidisciplinary approaches\, Hannah’s research is being further developed into a project that combines sculpture\, installation\, and fiction writing. Considering the historic roots of the ghetto and its present reality\, Hannah’s work explores how we write and rewrite our own histories. \nThis artist talk will be moderated by MJM’s Artistic Director\, Alyssa Stokvis-Hauer. A Q&A will follow. \nRegistration is free\, but advanced registration is required as capacity is limited. \nHannah Berger is a Montreal-based visual artist and fiction writer who works in a variety of media. Her work is strung with common threads of history and the excavation of language\, often employing historical and experimental methods of making and storytelling. She holds a BFA in Studio Art and Art History from Concordia University\, and was awarded the Montreal Fiction Prize in 2025. \nAccessibility: Please note that this event will take place at H. Fisher & Fils (4129 Boulevard Saint-Laurent)\, which is not accessible to visitors with limited mobility. This event will take place on the second floor\, accessible by stairwell only. \nHosted by Yiddishland Pavilion and Venezia Contemporanea\, this residency is made possible with support from the Betty Averbach Foundation and CANVAS. This artist-in-residence program was an inaugural partnership between the Montreal Jewish Museum\, Yiddishland Pavilion and Venezia Contemporanea. \nBackground Image: Hannah Berger\, Tennis Skirt.
