SUMMARY:Exhibit: “Yearning to Breathe: The Art of Siona Benjamin”
DESCRIPTION:Fordham Libraries and Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies present the art of Siona Benjamin. \nAs a Bene Israel Jewish woman from India now living in the United States\, Siona Benjamin is a Jewish artist creating cross-cultural and transcultural art. Her perspective bridges the traditional and the modern and sparks discourse across cultures. Having grown up in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim society in India\, where she was educated in Catholic and Zoroastrian schools and raised Jewish\, Benjamin always has been reflecting on cultural boundary zones. \nHer perspective remains transcultural and multicultural at heart\, combining the imagery of her past with the role she plays in America today. Her art is a kaleidoscope of images inspired by illuminated manuscripts and multicultural mythology. The blue-skinned characters are a signature feature of Benjamin’s paintings. She sees them as self-portraits of sorts through which she explores ancient and contemporary dilemmas. These characters become symbols of a timeless global identity free of prejudices and boundaries. \nBenjamin is originally from Mumbai and currently lives and works in Montclair\, New Jersey. Her work reflects her background of being brought up Jewish in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim India. In her paintings\, she combines the imagery of her past with the role she plays in America today\, making a mosaic inspired by both Indian miniature paintings and Jewish and Christian illuminated manuscripts. \nThe art is on view at the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Room at the Walsh Family Library on the Rose Hill campus and at Quinn Library on the Lincoln Center campus.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Citizenship\, Inclusion\, and the Struggle to Belong
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores the ways that exclusion affects minority groups in Western-dominant societies. It explores the ways in which Jews were excluded from European Christian-dominated society based on Christian notions of Jewish inferiority and the way Black people were excluded and marginalized in the United States and Europe based on race and association with slavery. We contemplate the idea of citizenship and belonging not only from the perspective of inclusion but also from the perspective of legal and social exclusion. We examine mechanisms of marginalization and exclusion: marking people and spaces\, use of language\, law\, and also violence. We also examine the way these marginalized groups navigated exclusion\, highlighting their coping mechanisms\, resilience\, and resistance to oppression and their unabashed demands of full equality and inclusion. We confront here this critical chapter in the history of the U.S.\, Europe\, and the Western Hemisphere to better reflect on its enduring impact on the ongoing struggle for justice in “Citizenship\, Inclusion\, and the Right to Belong.” \nThe exhibit was curated by Wes Alcenat\, Corinne Gibson\, FCRH ’24\, and Magda Teter.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: “Fordham’s Babel: An Exploration of World Languages in the Special Collections”
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit\, featuring centuries-old books and manuscripts\, explores Western interest in languages. At first\, we try to situate the story of Babel in a non-Western context\, highlighting non-European languages. The exhibit then traces the Renaissance study of languages through the lens of the Bible and its translations and of ancient material relics\, such as obelisks\, coins\, and other remains. We also showcase the tools scholars produced to study languages—for example\, medieval and Renaissance-era grammar books and lexicons. The exhibit ends with a reflection on the impact of language study and classification on the formation of identities and prejudices in the Western world. How did early 20th-century Westerners classify languages and peoples? What does it say about their understanding of nationalities and cultures and their place within a society of their own? \nThe exhibit was curated by Gabriella DiMeglio\, Miriam Krakowski\, FCRH ’27\, and Magda Teter.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Joy Ladin on What We Make of Who We Are: Jewish\, Trans\, and Family Identities
DESCRIPTION:This event will celebrate the launch of two new books by Joy Ladin: Once Out of Nature: Selected Essays on the Transformation of Gender and Family\, a new collection of poems. She will read from both books and reflect on what Jewish identity can teach us about trans identity\, what trans identity can teach us about being human\, and how family can simultaneously teach us and make it harder to be who we really are. \nAbout the Speaker\nJoy Ladin is the author of National Jewish Book Award finalist Through the Door of Life: A Jewish Journey Between Genders; the first book-length work of Jewish trans theology and Lambda Literary and Triangle Award finalist The Soul of the Stranger: Reading God and Torah from a Transgender Perspective\, and 10 books of poetry\, including Shekhinah Speaks and 2021 National Jewish Book Award winner The Book of Anna. She became a nationally recognized speaker on trans and Jewish identity after her transition at Yeshiva University made her the first openly transgender employee of an Orthodox Jewish institution\, and she has been named to both the Forward Fifty list of influential or courageous Jews and to LGBTQ Nation‘s Top 50 Transgender Americans list and featured on a number of NPR programs. Her writing has been recognized with a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship\, a Fulbright Scholarship\, an American Council of Learned Societies Research Fellowship\, and a Hadassah Brandeis Institute Research Fellowship\, among other honors. \nResponses from Anne Hoffman \, Professor Emerita of English and Comparative Literature at Fordham\, and Karina Hogan\, Associate Professor of Theology. \nAnne Golomb Hoffman is Professor Emerita of English and Comparative Literature at Fordham. Her research has addressed psychoanalysis\, narrative\, and gender in 20th-century literature and theory\, with work on modern Hebrew literature\, Agnon in particular. Since her retirement in 2023\, she has taught people returning from incarceration\, young women in Bangladesh\, and psychoanalytic candidates. Prof. Hoffman is also an accomplished painter. \nKarina Martin Hogan has been a member of the Theology Department at Fordham University since 2005. Prior to that\, she taught for two years at St. Anselm College in Manchester\, NH. She earned her MA (1999) and PhD (2002) from the Divinity School at the University of Chicago. Her BA is from Swarthmore College\, in Classics. Karina was trained in biblical studies at the University of Chicago\, but most of her research has been on the deuterocanonical or noncanonical literature of early Judaism. She has a particular interest in wisdom literature and apocalyptic literature. Recently\, however\, her research has focused on the book of Ruth in the Old Testament\, approaching it from feminist and contextual perspectives. She is affiliated faculty in the programs in Women’s\, Gender and Sexuality Studies and Jewish Studies at Fordham. She is currently the Associate Chair of the Theology Department for the Lincoln Center campus of Fordham.
