Over the past year, the 2025 LABA BAY AREA fellows have collectively engaged with ancient Jewish texts on the subject of CHANGE in LABAs open-minded and free-spirited house of study. They encountered old stories and ideas and then created new art and culture in response.
Join us for an intimate experience of these creative works, and a teaching of some of the texts that inspired them, on Sunday, November 16, 11:00 am - 4:00 pm at the Magnes Collection in Berkeley (2121 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA 94720).
11:00 am - 12:00 pm: Open gallery hours to see the visual and site-specific art installations. Featuring the work of Hila Amram, Michelle Brenner, Samantha Grant, Ronit Shalem, and Ari Salomon. The artists will be present and leading short, casual discussions about their work. No ticket required.
12:30 pm - 2:00 pm: Live performances and teaching featuring theater from Maya De La Rosa-Cohen, film from Chel Mandell, music from Chance Reiniesch, dance from Liv Schaffer, and learning with LABA scholar Sam Shonkoff. Ticket required.*
2:30 pm - 3:00 pm: Interactive theater midrash text study with LABA scholar Tova Birnbaum. Dive into an ancient text through improvisation and creative storytelling. No ticket required (Though note that there is limited capacity in the space so entry is not guaranteed without a ticket).
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm: Gallery show open to the public. No ticket required.
*100% of ticket sales go to supporting events for, and work by, local LABA artists.
