The project of Natalya Zolotar
Ruth Schloss
Drawing lines between German heritage and Israeli cultural sphere
A case study Natalya Zolotar
The artist Ruth Schloss was born in Nuremberg, Germany and immigrated to Israel in 1937. Immigration from Germany in the 1930s brought with it a new cultural nuance to Palestine-Israel. The “Yekkes” (The German immigrants’ nickname) retained aspects of their former life and their German cultural identity. My research will explore: What are the affinities, the relations, and the influences of Cultural German Heritage on Schloss’s art? How much “Germany and Stuttgart” are in “Israel and Tel-Aviv”, and what can we learn about wandering of the cultural German ideas and heritage and their translation into Israeli cultural sphere?

Culture and Identity in a Migration Society: The German-Bulgarian Heritage
A case study by Carolin Martinov
With a total of 319.271 Bulgarians living in Germany, it is by far the biggest European diaspora of Bulgarians (statista: 2019). For them it may seem difficult to answer questions on their home and identity as the separation of those cultures start to blur with each generation being raised away from their ancestors’ home. Assemblies and festivals that contribute to open the migration community help to exchange culture and ideas of a transcultural society.
The case study aims to inform about the given history and examine the way shared/contradictory heritage is dealt with in these communitis.
