Erev Tish’ah b’Av
Architecture & Migration: A Personal Reflection on Destruction, Displacement, and Homemaking
with Sarah Lopez
Saturday, August 2 at 8:00 PM, in-person in the Charry Sanctuary
(accessible via livestream here, passcode will be shared via email)
Ma’ariv Service, reading of Eicha (Lamentations), & Kinot to follow.
Sarah Lopez will explore her family’s double displacement–first from Belarus before WWII and second from Cuba after the Communist revolution–as a way of threading her history with her academic research on emigration and placemaking in the Mexican diaspora. She will also explore how questions of migration, displacement, and placemaking frame this holiday, reminding us of the central role that architecture and place hold for how people conceive of themselves in the world.
Sarah Lopez is a GJC congregant and the Associate Professor of History of the Built Environment at the Weitzman School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania.
