Dark Nights, Bright Lights: Artists Respond to Rituals and Traditions in the Homeplace and Beyond is a month-long celebration of ritual performance in December. This celebration honors the coming winter solstice, which has inspired cultures the world over to create sacred rituals and rites, often involving women and the home, subjects usuall overlooked by the writers – and readers – of history. The festival will showcase traditions dating 7,000 years to the present day, stemming from the Jewish Diaspora, Korean Shamanism, ancient Persian culture and philosophies, Sufism, Palestinian art, and contemporary personal religion.
Artists Dohee Lee, Jewlia Eisenberg of Charming Hostess, Amy Berk, Najat El-Taji El-Khairy, and Fariba Bogzaran will be performing, presenting work, and in residence at Meridian Gallery during the month of December.
The celebration runs through December 21, 2012.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
