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?

STUDENT'S RESEARCH
Home and belonging have significance in research on migration, and questions about belonging and home are key questions in research on migrants and refugees. Belonging refers to the way individuals see themselves in relation to others and to the places they inhabit or inhabited. Home can be considered as a desire for belonging that allows people to feel at home in place or to feel a home-like connection with various places at the same time. The research addresses the feeling of homing and belonging through a curation, asking: what are the conditions required for us to feel "At Home"? What is a place? How do we establish a sense of belonging? Is home being something that you carry along with you?
