The Parkes Institute presents The Wandering Jew Exhibition Launch
‐
For Inter Faith Week, a literary, artistic and historical showcase of the legend of the Wandering Jew. Come to the launch of the Wandering Jew exhibition, curated by English PGR Anoushka Alexander-Rose and hosted by the Parkes Institute with the support of the German History Society and Jewish Historical Society of England. Reframing the Wandering Jew from its origins in medieval Christian myth, this exhibition presents how the legend evolves across time and cultures. It draws on an expansive set of sources including Romantic and Gothic literature, Yiddish drama, Jewish visual art, Rabbinic sermons, Nazi and anti-Nazi film, and 21st century regenderings of the myth. A particular highlight is a specially commissioned print, ‘Flight’, by artist and sculptor David Hochhauser. These diverse forms and genres reflect the relevance of the Wandering Jew, both representing Jewish exilic experience but more widely universal themes of myth, migration and memory. Anoushka will introduce the project, framing it around her own research, and give a reading of the first translation of ‘Agasfer’ by Vladimir Nabokov, after which attendees are invited to explore the exhibition along with refreshments.
