SUMMARY:To Say I Was Here: Curator Talk + Listening Party
DESCRIPTION:Join JMM for the opening of To Say I Was Here\, an exhibition of Arabic\, Greek\, Ladino\, and Turkish-speaking Jewish immigrant musicians recorded in the U.S. between 1916 and 1966. This multimedia exhibit currently on view delves into the lives and legacies of several immigrant musicians—both celebrated and little-known—who shaped the rich tapestry of American music in the early to mid-20th century. During this era of rapid expansion in the U.S. sound recording industry\, countless immigrant artists recorded songs from their homelands\, preserving and transforming cultural traditions. Among them were Jewish musicians from Aleppo\, Baghdad\, Istanbul\, Ioannina\, Izmir\, and beyond\, who performed not only for their Jewish communities but also within Armenian\, Greek\, and Arab circles\, united by shared languages and cultural bonds.

SUMMARY:Next Generations Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:Join the JMM for the opening of Next Generations: Turning the Page\, an exhibition celebrating the Jewish Museum of Maryland’s Generations magazine\, published from 1978 to 2012\, which offered 30 issues of insightful stories from more than 180 contributors\, amateur and professional writers alike. Covering a wide range of topics\, it became a cornerstone for sharing Maryland’s Jewish history and culture. More than a decade after its final issue\, we are excited to reopen our transformed museum with an exhibit that reactivates Generations. This reimagined presentation reinterprets select articles through a contemporary lens and shares these stories in fresh\, engaging formats\, welcoming audiences ranging from longtime supporters (and even former contributors) to those discovering our institution for the first time. \nBeyond honoring this treasured publication\, the exhibit explores some of its primary themes—migration\, nostalgia\, and food—through the perspectives of multiple curators. Each theme is brought to life with innovative storytelling that highlights both the enduring and evolving significance of these topics. \nHistorian and past co-editor of Generations\, Deb Weiner\, will share a brief history of the publication prior to a panel conversation with the exhibition curators. The panel will be moderated by exhibition Advisor Rebecca Uchill. \nAttendees will also have the opportunity to engage with the Museum’s audio/video production studio. \nKosher light refreshments will be served indoors. Masks are encouraged but not required for this event. Complimentary masks will be available.  \nAccessibility: The Museum building is wheelchair accessible\, including the single-stall and multi-stall bathrooms.  \nParking: There is a small\, free\, City-owned parking lot directly across Lloyd Street from the Museum entrance. There is street parking available in the neighborhood. \nFor questions\, please contact Noah Mitchel at nmitchel@jewishmuseummd.org or 443.873.5178.

SUMMARY:Once Out of Nature & Family
DESCRIPTION:Once Out of Nature & Family: A Virtual Author Talk with Joy Ladin \nJoin the JMM for a Zoom program with Joy Ladin about her two recently published works: her essay collection Once Out of Nature and her poetry collection Family.  \nRegistration is free\, but required. You can register here. For questions\, please contact Noah Mitchel at nmitchel@jewishmuseummd.org or 443.873.5178. \nJoy Ladin is a widely published essayist and poet\, literary scholar\, and nationally known speaker on transgender issues. From 2003 to 2021\, she held the David and Ruth Gottesman Chair in English at Stern College for Women of Yeshiva University; her gender transition and return to teaching in 2008 made her the first openly transgender employee of an Orthodox Jewish institution. Joy is the author of twelve books\, including the National Jewish Book Award-winning revised second edition of The Book of Anna\, and ten books of poetry. Her work was featured in the 2021 JMM exhibition A Fence Around the Torah: Safety and Unsafety in Jewish Life. \nOnce Out of Nature: Selected Essays on the Transformation of Gender was written between 2008\, on the cusp of what Time called America’s “transgender tipping point\,” and 2021\, as anti-trans laws began multiplying\, these essays offer constructive\, compassionate ways to think and talk about how the growing awareness of transgender and nonbinary people is changing gender for everyone. Ladin\, the first openly transgender employee of an Orthodox Jewish institution\, a nationally known speaker on transgender identities and issues\, and founding figure in trans poetry and trans theology\, has lived through and contributed to gender’s bitterly debated and still unfolding transformation. Drawing on her experiences as a trans parent\, spouse\, teacher\, and author rather than talking points\, buzz words\, or jargon\, these essays speak honestly and insightfully about how gender is changing\, the conflicts and anxieties these changes cause\, and what they can teach us about who we are\, who we can be\, and what it means to be human. \nFamily is Ladin’s most autobiographical and socially engaged poetry collection to date\, Family is an intimate exploration of private and public loss\, resilience and love whose emotional center and recurrent motif is the death of her mother. Family begins with “haiku suites\,” an invented form through which her mother’s dementia and her own growing disability are glimpsed by the light of a blossoming world. The lyric narratives that follow portray a widening family circle that also includes estranged children\, God\, targeted trans women\, and Trump-era America. The book concludes with “Autobiography of My Whiteness\,” a reckoning with Ladin’s belated awareness of her place in America’s racial hierarchy that connects the entangling of whiteness and love in her childhood relationship with her mother to recent police shootings of black and brown children that reveal\, behind the veil of whiteness\, the ongoing violence at the heart of her American family. \nLive captions will be provided during the presentation. You can register here.
