Seder

Elsewhere hosted the 8th annual evening of traditional foods with an untraditional telling of the Passover story across the museum’s three floors. Elsewhere’s Seder connects Jewish liberation with historic and contemporary liberation texts.

Unlike other Seders, we explore the story of Jewish liberation alongside others’ liberation. Excerpts include Marsha P. Johnson, bell hooks, David Wojnarowicz, Baal Shem Tov, Malcolm X, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Susannah Heschel among others. Like all other Seders, ours is a retelling of history, a performance of senses, and a meal made and shared with friends.
