The Osher Marin JCC is pleased to present a new exhibit, Jews of Color: a Renaissance. The exhibit is the latest project by Scattered Among the Nations, and is intended to educate about Jewish diversity, profiling some of the world's most isolated and dynamic communities. The opening reception includes a presentation by Scattered Among the Nations and live music by Saul Kaye.
About Scattered Among the Nations The organization's photography exhibits depict Jewish communities from around the world. Jews of Color: in Color! (which was also the JCC's Center for Jewish Peoplehood's inaugural exhibit in 2009) and Scattered Among the Nations have both toured dozens of American venues, at museums, galleries, universities, Jewish centers, and synagogues from New York to San Francisco, Houston to St. Paul, Washington, DC, to Memphis, Boston to San Jose. Articles featuring the organization's work, and stories and images of the profiled Jewish communities, appeared in every major American Jewish publication, in secular media from National Geographic books to Fox News, and internationally, from Brazil to Israel.
About Jews of Color: a Renaissance The new Renaissance project features ten large (each about 25-30 square feet) canvasses by Oakland, California painter Sam Renaissance, paired with the Jews of Color photographs that originally inspired them. The photographic subjects are enlivened and transformed through Mr. Renaissance's urban modernist approach, which makes strong use of brilliant color, bold outlines, and compositions that vibrate with barely-contained energy. The Brooklyn-born artist, who is African-American and not Jewish, was captivated by the Jews of Color photographs' challenge to stereotypes both of Jews and of communities of color, and hopes the exhibit will create a new paradigm in art and in people's thinking about religion and race.
