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?

Between East and West
Daniel Barenboim and The West Eastern Divan Orchestra
​
A case study by Kinnerth Suissa
Music is a political cultural field and is a field of symbolic social interaction in which contested visions, memories, and cultural heritage are displayed. Shared music affirms our sense of identity, sense of place, and our past while marking territories with non-verbal sound. I focus on the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. The orchesta promotes coexistence and intercultural dialogue. My research examines in what way a common / opposing legacy exist in the orchestra, with reference to the instruments, music, and the ensemble of the orchestra members.
