What is an Archive?
In this workshop, learn about the Jewish Museum and Archives and consider how to engage with your own stories.
Each participant will receive a framed box and is invited to bring personal textual material (letters you care about, photographs of family/cultural icons you relate to, etc.) and any small objects you may wish to include. We will provide all other art materials, including collage and archival materials.
Leave with a 3-D box art you can hang on your wall, reflecting your unique history.
