SUMMARY:Yevgeniy Fiks: Artist Talk and Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Museum of Jewish Montreal (MJM) and the Concordia Institute for Canadian Jewish Studies for an artist talk and workshop with visiting artist Yevgeniy Fiks. \nThis masterclass will be led by New York-based artist\, author\, and co-creator of the Yiddishland Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Yevgeniy Fiks. The class will begin with a lecture and artist talk from Yevgeniy\, speaking about his inspiration and approaches as an artist\, teacher\, and curator\, and the influence of Yiddish and diasporic Jewish discourse in contemporary artistic practice. \nAfter a short break to connect further with other participants over coffee and refreshments\, Yevgeniy will lead participants through a drawing workshop connected to his exhibition on view\, Dos Baushtibl. \nInspired by the “Basic Course” at the Bauhaus—the influential Modernist art school in interwar Germany\, this workshop will explore the foundations of Yiddish visual arts in relation to Yiddish and Jewish literature. Engaging in hands-on projects\, participants will investigate the possible meanings of visual art concepts such as “Yiddish Line\,” “Yiddish Shape\,” and “Yiddish Color\,” and gain a new appreciation for interdisciplinarity and bringing historical approaches into contemporary practice. \nAll levels of artistic experience are welcome\, and no prior knowledge of topics or techniques is required. \nTickets are $5 for students and $8 for general admission. All materials provided. This event will be held at Concordia University’s John Molson (MB) building. The room number will be provided to participants following registration. \nYevgeniy Fiks is a Moscow-born New York-based artist\, author\, and organizer of art exhibitions. Among his projects are “A Gift to Birobidzhan\,” “Landscapes of the Jewish Autonomous Region\,” and “Himl un erd (Yiddish Cosmos)” that have been exhibited at 2B Galeria\, Budapest; Galerie Sator\, Paris; 21ST.PROJECTS/Critical Practices Inc.\, New York; and CCI Fabrica\, Moscow. Fiks’s performance pieces “Lily Golden\, Harry Haywood\, Langston Hughes\, Yelena Khanga\, Claude McKay\, Paul Robeson\, Robert Robinson on Soviet Jews” and “Red Kaddish” have been performed at the International Print Center New York and the Museum at Eldridge Street/A Landmark Synagogue Story\, both in New York. \nThis event is presented as a part of the Montreal Jewish Arts Collaborative (MJAC) granting initiative\, made possible through the support of the Averbach Family Foundation\, CANVAS\, The Azrieli Foundation\, and the Canadian Race Relations Foundation. We thank the Concordia Institute for Canadian Jewish Studies for their partnership.

SUMMARY:Windows to the Soul
DESCRIPTION:What do we see in ourselves and our histories when we hold them up to the light?  \nIn 1962\, celebrated Jewish painter Marc Chagall’s 12 Tribe Windows were installed in the Abbell Synagogue at the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem\, each arched stained-glass window was painted by Chagall to represent one of Jacob’s 12 sons and what their respective tribe symbolizes. \nIn this workshop with Merav Epstein\, we’ll be emulating Chagall’s process to make mini tribe windows to represent ourselves or our loved ones. This workshop will start with a short presentation on Chagall’s practice as a painter and how he moved into stained glass\, as well as a quick history on stained glass within Judaism and in Montreal. Participants will then brainstorm and sketch out ideas for what their own “tribe” window will look like\, what aspects they wish to represent\, before diving in on painting their own window (6″ x 8″). \nNo prior painting or stained glass experience is required. All materials will be provided. Participants are welcome to bring along any objects of importance to them that they may want to depict in their window. Come solo or with friends or family. All identities and cultures are welcome to join! \nAdmission is free but capacity is limited\, so early registration is strongly recommended. \nMerav Epstein is a multidisciplinary artist based in Montreal. She received a BFA in Film Animation from Concordia University in 2021\, and has work experience in animation as a Production Coordinator at DNEG Animation Studio\, and has animated multiple freelance music videos for artists in Canada and the United States. While her work experience is more animation-based\, Merav’s artistic practice centres upon stained glass and fibre arts (knitting\, crochet\, and needle felting)\, and their occasional intersection and interaction with animation. Merav’s professional background in the fast-paced and technological environments of animation have drawn her closer to the slowness\, intentionality\, and materiality required of fibre arts and stained glass as mediums. She is currently a recipient of the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s Microgrant Program. \nAccessibility: Please note that the upper floors of our building are currently not accessible to visitors with limited mobility. This workshop will take place on the second floor. \nThis event is a part of the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s 2026 Microgrant Program for Creative or Cultural Exploration\, made possible with support by the Azrieli Foundation\, the Betty Averbach Foundation\, the Canadian Race Relations Foundation\, and CANVAS.

SUMMARY:Red Light Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:For the first time this season\, join us for a tour of Montreal’s historic Red Light District with Karen Herland! Come learn about this storied district in a walk through its landmarks and alleyways. \nSex work\, especially in its most visible forms\, tends to be recognized as a problem\, requiring intervention and eradication. As a major transportation hub and port city\, many sectors of Montreal’s economy were intertwined with the sex trade\, even as police and politicians manipulated social responses (positive and negative) to the presence of a thriving Red Light District. From Maimie Pinzer to Harry Ship and through to the present day\, this tour explores the social\, economic\, labour\, cultural\, racial\, and gender history of Montreal through its former Red Light\, which for decades thrived in the heart of Montreal’s burgeoning Jewish community. \nThis tour covers 150 years and 10 city blocks over 1.5-2 hours. The tour begins on the southeast corner of Boulevard René Lévesque and Boulevard St. Laurent and ends near St. Laurent Metro station. Please note that while the tour will be led in English\, questions can be asked and answered in French. Reserve your spot here. \nTICKETS:\nAdults: $26\nAges 65+: $24\nStudents: $14\nAges 12 and Under: $8 \nPoint of Departure: We will meet on the southeast corner of Boulevard René Lévesque and Boulevard St. Laurent. Please ignore the specific address of 1111 Boulevard St. Laurent\, as this is only an approximation. \nWeather Policy: In the event of light rain\, the tour will go on as scheduled. If there is a strong warning of heavy rain and/or thunderstorms\, the tour will be postponed. All registrants will have the option to attend the rescheduled tour. \nImage: Carte des bordels montréalais où les soldats ont contracté des maladies vénériennes : rapport de l’Armée sur la situation croissante des maladies vénériennes à Montréal. 1944.
