Upcoming Events – Fordham Now https://now.fordham.edu The official news site for Fordham University.

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?

The exhibit was curated by Gabriella DiMeglio, Miriam Krakowski, FCRH ’27, and Magda Teter.

“Henna, Love, and Light: Jewish Life and Art in Siona Benjamin’s India” https://now.fordham.edu/event/henna-love-and-light-jewish-life-and-art-in-siona-benjamins-india/ Thu, 30 Jan 2025 15:00:00 +0000 https://now.fordham.edu/?post_type=tribe_events&p=199778 In 2011, Siona Benjamin, an intercultural artist born in India to a Bene Israel Jewish community, returned to her country of birth on a Fulbright India-US fellowship. During her stay, she traveled across the country, conducting research and interviewing Jews in India. “Henna, Love, and Light: Jewish Life and Art in Siona Benjamin’s India” brings to Fordham several pieces from Siona Benjamin’s series of photo-collage paintings, “Faces: Weaving Indian Jewish Narratives.” These pieces serve as anchors that link the present and the past. Around Siona Benjamin’s art are photographs taken by the artist’s parents and family members. In the 1950s, Siona Benjamin’s parents, Judah and Sophie Benjamin, traveled across India photographing synagogues and houses of prayer, capturing the range and diversity of the Indian Jewish community: from splendid metropolitan synagogues to small rural prayer halls. The cache of photographs in Siona Benjamin’s possession thus documents an aspect of Jewish history, now threatened by oblivion.

Like Siona Benjamin’s art, some of the old family photographs underscore how much the life and culture of Jews in India were very much of India. Henna, saris, glass lamps of synagogue lights meld with modern suits and classic fedoras becoming one. Indian and Jewish, traditional and modern–all form a distinct Indian Jewish identity.

The exhibit was made possible by the Hadassah Ruth Weiner Jewish Art Fund at Fordham University and was curated by Amy Levine-Kennedy, Mallory Roof FCRH ‘26, and Magda Teter. It will be on view from January 30 until March 28, 2025 in the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Room on the 4th floor of the Walsh Family Library.

Responsible Business Center Annual Sustainable Clothing Drive https://now.fordham.edu/event/responsible-business-center-annual-sustainable-clothing-drive/ Mon, 03 Feb 2025 15:00:00 +0000 https://now.fordham.edu/?post_type=tribe_events&p=200436 Donate to the Gabelli Clothing Exchange. The exchange is designed for students to swap clothing that they no longer wear for something from someone else’s wardrobe. Alumni are encouraged to bring gently used clothing, especially business casual and winter clothing, to the Student Success Center from now through Friday, April 4. Your donations can provide students with attire to wear to interviews or help an international student build their cold-weather wardrobe. Collection bins will be available for donations in suite 126 of 140 West 62nd Street. Please email Kate Kennon at [email protected] with questions.

About the Drive
In 2023, the Responsible Business Center and the Student Success Center introduced a fall and spring clothing exchange as part of its mission to help Gabelli School business students take part in and understand circular fashion, an important aspect of sustainability and engagement. In its simplest form, a clothing exchange is a gathering of people who swap clothing they no longer wear for something from someone else’s wardrobe.
