The Jewish Street Art Festival is thrilled to present a series of murals as a part of Dwelling in a Time of Plagues, a coast-to-coast Jewish artistic response to contemporary plagues. Coinciding with the holiday of Passover, during which we remember the 10 Plagues visited upon the Egyptians, the works for Dwelling in a Time of Plagues reinterpret the themes of Passover in response to our times. Jewish Street Art Festival Passover 2021 – Contemporary Plagues brings four muralists into a dialogue responding to different contemporary plagues and creating works in NYC, Charlotte, and Toronto. The Festival is produced by Asylum Arts and Hillel Smith, in collaboration with LABA, and made possible with the generous support of CANVAS.
The Festival will kick off at the opening of Dwelling in the Time of Plagues on March 25, 8pm EST / 5pm PST, featuring short talks by participating artists and contributors to the wider Dwelling project.
Then join the the Jewish Street Art Festival for a special conversation with our artists and partners on Wednesday, March 31 at 7:30pm EST / 4:30pm PST. See the five murals and hear from the artists about their work, and the plague themes inspiring their projects. During this 45-minute event, each artist will share their project and inspiration, with time for questions at the end.
