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?

The "Dawn Multicultural Theater" Documentary Theatre and Shared Heritage
A case study by Sigal Peres
Shared Heritage has been constructed and can be re-constructed. Theatre and arts can challenge the values of hegemonic heritage. In Israel, some cultural organizations have started using different forms of theatre to represent their multiple heritage and negotiate their hybrid cultural identities.
My research will focus on the "Dawn Multicultural Theater" and more specifically on its first show; "Daddy's Girls". My main research question is: if and how theatre and more specifically-a documentary theatre-, as a cultural, artistic, and educational site can be a tool to understand, widen and re-constructed collective memory and shared heritage?
