A Night of Music, Poetry, and a Whole Bunch of Jews

By Forward Staff September 19, 2011

Artists and audience members filled The Living Theatre last night for the Forward’s Jewish Art for the New Millenium event, featuring Jessica Lurie, Ammiel Alcalay and Marc Ribot.

In addition to stellar performances by each of the artists, the audience was treated to a spontaneous collaboration between the three performers, as well as a rousing panel discussion about the intersection of art, Judaism and avant-garde aesthetics.

Stay tuned for the next Jewish Art For the New Millenium event in the coming months, and see below for more photos, courtesy of Dan Sagarin.
