SUMMARY:An Opening of an Exhibition of Photography: Chuck Fishman: Roots\, Resilience and Renewal—A Portrait of Polish Jews\, 1975–2016
DESCRIPTION:Fordham University’s Jewish Studies and Derfner Judaica Museum + The Art Collection at Hebrew Home at Riverdale are pleased to announce its latest exhibition\, Chuck Fishman: Roots\, Resilience and Renewal—A Portrait of Polish Jews\, 1975–2016\, on view at the Derfner Judaica Museum from September 17\, 2017–January 7\, 2018. A reception and talk by the photographer will take place on Sunday\, September 17\, from 1:30–3 p.m. \nThis event is free and open to the public. R.S.V.P. 718.581.1596 or art@hebrewhome.org. Photo I.D. required for admission. \nThe exhibition includes 36 black and white photographs made during multiple trips Fishman took to Poland over a period of more than 40 years\, first as a young college student and later as a professional photojournalist. He first traveled to Poland in the summer of 1975 during the Communist era\, accompanied by a writer\, in search of what remained of Jewish life and culture in a country that Jews had inhabited for 1000 years\, a once-vibrant community whose history and legacy lay on the brink of extinction. \nWhat Fishman found were synagogues\, locked\, decaying and/or abandoned\, and cemeteries in ruin; older Jews\, living on pensions\, by and large “underground” and with scant communal resources: the “kosher kitchens” in Warsaw\, Krakow and Wroclaw; a Jewish club in Lodz; Friday night or Shabbat services in Warsaw and Krakow\, and the Yiddish theater in Warsaw. That first journey resulted in the publication of Polish Jews: The Final Chapter (McGraw-Hill and New York University Press\, 1977). Returning several times between 1975 and 1983\, Fishman’s images provide rare glimpses into Jewish life during a period when Jews in the West had little or no access to their Polish forebears in the post-Holocaust era. His more recent images\, made 30 years later upon his arrival in 2013—more than two decades after the fall of Communism—chronicle a spiritual and cultural “return to identity” that Fishman says\, “would have been unthinkable before.” His latest work speaks “to themes of resilience and renewal\, exploring and elucidating the myriad faces and facets of recovery and re-generation\,” he explains\, as younger generations are discovering their Jewish roots\, and what it means “being Jewish.” \nThis jointly organized exhibition is supported\, in part\, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. \nAdditional funding provided by Joseph Alexander Foundation\, the Jan Karski Educational Foundation\, and YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. \nFor more information\, contact Magda Teter\, The Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies at 347-364-3472 or JewishStudies@fordham.edu.
