About this event
Join the Jewish Museum of Maryland on the final day of RE: Intimacy. Image. Identity. for a talk with the curator and artist. The Jewish Museum of Maryland’s 2005 exhibition Intimacy. Image. Identity. Perspectives on Orthodox Jewish Women’s Haircovering presented a traditional form of dress practiced upon marriage. Its series of black and white film photographs by Zoë Reznick traveled across five sites state-wide. Two decades following the development of this project, Museum staff resurfaced the exhibition materials. Through RE: Intimacy. Image. Identity., the artist reunites the women she photographed two decades ago and reimagines this body of work through an expanded lens. The exhibition features select framed prints from the original show, archival materials and photographs, and multi-media reflections shared by women participating in the project, illuminating regard for the personal significance of Jewish haircovering practice over time, together, in the present. At the event, learn more about the body of work behind the show, hear how it evolved into two JMM exhibitions, and get behind-the-scenes insights into the gallery before it closes. Engage in an audience Q + A, experience the exhibition, and share your own responses in the space. 1:00 PM | Art talk 2:00 PM | Gallery exploration 3:00 PM | Event concludes 4:00 PM | Gallery closes Zoë Reznick is an interdisciplinary artist with a focus on experimental documentary media.
