Uncovered: Stories of Queer Jewish Icons (2021) When history is told from one perspective, who gets lost? Join us as we uncover five queer Jewish icons that all deserve their own place in the cultural canon. |
This commission from JW3 London invited five artists and researchers to use the PechaKucha form to tell the stories of five queer Jewish icons that history needs to reclaim and rejoice. From a Mancunian Jewish housewife turned cabaret performer to a Weimar German drag artist, these icons celebrate how Jewish and queer identities overlap, endure, and enhance the world around us.
Stav's PechaKucha commission, devised and performed live by Stav, explored American author and playwright Kate Bornstein.
Other influences / references included: Lesley Ferris, Roland Barthes, Paris is Burning, Sonya Renee, Sasha Velour, Doctor Who, Judaism, and New York City itself.
PechaKucha is Japanese for “chit chat”. It is a storytelling platform where presenters share 20 slides and talk about each one for 20 seconds. This event was delivered online.
