Lunch and Learn JADA
2023-01-25 12:30 - 17:00
Scholar Artist JÔNATAS will speak about how since the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions of the fifteenth Century, the group interchangeably known as Marranos, Conversos, new-Christians, crypto-Jews, or simply Gente da Nação has had significant representation within the Arts. By observing the depictions made by crypto-Jewish artists, their descendants, or by non-Jewish creators who featured them as subjects (as sitters, muses, or models), one finds a vocabulary which forms the basis of a crypto-Jewish artistic language. Come enjoy a tour of this little-know part of Jewish Art History.
Afterwards, the JADA curators will give the public a tour of the art on site.
