Exhibition Featuring Work by IRC Fellows Opens

Published: Oct 21, 2011

A new exhibit at the Jewish Museum of Maryland features work completed by Imaging Research Center (IRC) Fellows in the spring of 2011. “Chosen Food: Cuisine, Culture and American Jewish Identity” examines the diversity of Jewish eating and uncovers the messages in meals.

To make these ideas tangible in an exhibition setting, the IRC Fellows recorded audio and video interviews and produced location documentary works. The IRC Fellows documented food experiences of the farm, home and marketplace, and that content has been interwoven in the exhibition.

The exhibition will open at the Jewish Museum of Maryland on Sunday, October 23, with a reception from 12:30-4 p.m. The opening event will include tastings and samples of Jewish food from around the world.

“Chosen Food,” which runs through September 30, 2012, opens up conversations about the history and experience of being Jewish and American in the 21st century.

The Jewish Museum of Maryland is located at 15 Lloyd Street, Baltimore, MD.
