tsukunst צוקונסט

Tsukunst is a combination of two Yiddish words: tsukunft (future) and kunst (art). This represents the belief that art is a vessel for future-making, in how it can drive us in our present by making different possible futures vivid and palpable. Or as the word play of the yiddish phrase “es ken gemolt zayn” suggests: it is paintable / it is possible.

My practice as a printmaker and book artist is guided by my political commitments to building a vibrant, forward-looking Jewish diaspora that challenges notions of belonging through nationalism and shared trauma in favor of communal engagement with ever-evolving practices of language, ritual, performance, and organizing for a more just world for all peoples.
