SUMMARY:EXHIBIT | HYPHEN: Graphic Novels of Jewish Diversity
DESCRIPTION:Explore Jewish diversity through “HYPHEN: Jewish Stories in Our Own Words\,” a graphic novel exhibit featuring stories of identity\, immigration and belonging. Join graphic novelist and co-creator Julian Voloj on Nov. 1 for a special reception and conversation about his work on HYPHEN as executive director of Be’chol Lashon\, a nonprofit devoted to uplifting the historic and contemporary racial\, ethnic and cultural diversity of the Jewish people. \nThe vibrant new graphic novel anthology + exhibit\, HYPHEN: JEWISH STORIES IN OUR OWN WORDS\, celebrates ethnic and racial diversity within the Jewish community through the art of graphic novels\, with deeply personal stories from Laos\, Japan\, Uganda and around the world about immigration\, trailblazing\, traumas and culturally different Jewish experiences. Each story is told in their own words and uniquely illustrated by a roster of acclaimed international artists. From ancient traditions to modern journeys\, these voices reflect the true diversity of the Jewish experience today. \nThe stories in HYPHEN are about immigration and information hidden from children\, stories of trauma\, the experience of being a refugee. In matching storytellers and artists\, the editors tried to find Jewish artists\, initially\, but that wasn’t always possible\, especially given tight deadlines. However\, fortuitous links happened. For example\, the editors knew of an Italian-African artist who wanted to work with a black storyteller\, so paired them with Shoshanna\, the trailblazing first female rabbi of Uganda’s Abayudaya community. \nFree Registration/Drop In + Book Sales: \n\nOct. 12-Dec. 6: Exhibit on view for drop-ins during regular SJCC business hours with onsite front-desk registration (best after preschool hours to view all five story panels).\nNov. 1: Opening Reception registration required.\n\n \nABOUT: Speaker/Graphic Novelist/Curator Julian Voloj\nBorn in Germany to Colombian parents\, Voloj is the executive director of Be’chol Lashon\, an organization dedicated to celebrating ethnic and racial diversity within the Jewish community. Voloj is the author of several graphic novels. He and co-editor Sapolsky\, a French-American artist and writer with both Ashkenazi and Sephardic roots and the co-creator of “Spider-Man Noir\,” have chosen comics as their medium because it is limitless and cinematic. \n  \nInteractive! Everyone is invited to draw their own graphic story panel and contribute to the ‘s diverse story of our J community in the J Cafe. \nPart of SJCC Blueprint for Belonging.

SUMMARY:FILM | Cinema Song Circle: A JOURNEY OF SPIRIT
DESCRIPTION:Join the Cinema Song Circle\, a special event of participatory singing celebrating Debbie Friedman’s music led by Chava Mirel followed by a screening of Ann Coppel’s documentary\, A JOURNEY OF SPIRIT. \nA JOURNEY OF SPIRIT (2004) is a wonderfully vibrant and moving film that made us laugh\, cry and sing when it first premiered at the Seattle Jewish Film Festival.

Scenes from that concert appear numerous times in Coppel’s documentary.

SUMMARY:Winning Her Wings
DESCRIPTION:Winning Her Wings features WWII’s groundbreaking Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) through the eyes of one Jewish woman serving in the WASP program. Combining a dynamic combination of solo theatre and powerful archival film footage\, this dynamic production brings to life one woman’s determination to fight against prejudice\, antisemitism\, and fascism\, at home and abroad. Winning Her Wings is inspired by the real Jewish voices\, stories\, and perspectives that rarely make it into traditional accounts of World War II history. \n \n\nPerformer Bio\nAs Artistic Director and performer with Living Voices\, Rachael McClinton is happy to share “Winning Her Wings.” Rachael has performed nationally in productions ranging from Musicals to Shakespeare. The creation of Living Voices was inspired by the mission to bring life to history through the powerful combination of solo theater and archival film. “Winning Her Wings” has been performed at the Museum of Flight\, NW Museum of Arts & Culture\, Colorado College\, the Museum of History & Industry\, Washington State Historical Museum and in educational settings and museums nationally
