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
ZUMU is a community-based, mobile museum of contemporary art, which travels throughout Israel and presents exhibitions that are created and curated with collaboration of local communities. The linkages between shared heritage, hegemonic culture, and local communities in Israel's periphery is the main subject of my research. The Research focuses on ZUMU and its contribution to the memories and cultural heritage of the Israel migration society and I explore ZUMO 2019 Which took place at Kiryat Yam. My research question asks what function does a mobile museum like ZUMU have for past heritage of local communities and their future shared heritage?
