Moroccan Memories: A Lens into Lost Jewish Holidays and Handicrafts
Hosted By: Qesher
Qesher explores the outsized role Jewish artisans once played in Morocco’s decorative arts and how their mid-20th-century departure led to the decline of trades such as silversmithing, leatherwork, and textile weaving. Set within this broader legacy, the talk highlights how these traditions are remembered and reinterpreted in the work of Los Angeles–based artist and ethnographer Nessim Sibony. Together, participants will explore handcrafted traditions, holiday customs, and communal rituals that once brought Jewish life in Marrakech to vibrant life.
