Frédéric Brenner—The Jewish Diaspora
Brenner, born in Paris in 1959, has spent twenty-five years chronicling the Jewish Diaspora with his stunning photographs, and has traveled everywhere to do so—from Rome to New York, India to Yemen, Morocco to Ethiopia, and Sarajevo to Jerusalem. Brenner is the winner of the 1992 Prix de Rome, among other awards, and has published several books, including Jerusalem: instants d’étérnite, and Exile at Home.
Sidra Dekoven Ezrahi—Diasporic Entitlements
The author and scholar comments on the themes evoked by Brenner’s photographs that have informed her own work. Ezrahi is author of Booking Passage: Exile and Homecoming in the Modern Jewish Imagination. She also wrote some of the commentary for Brenner’s book. She teaches at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and is currently visiting professor at Duke University.
