Anne Hromadka Greenwald, HUC-JIR, Los Angeles curator and Southern California-based arts professional, will bring together her love of storytelling and expertise in Jewish contemporary art to explore the exhibition’s deeper themes.

Join Anne for a close look at Stella’s captivating prints through the light of traditional and modern re-readings of the popular Seder folksong, Had Gadya. The title of her talk comes from the haunting lyrics of Chava Alberstein’s reimagined Had Gadya, written during the First Intifada and recorded only a few years after Stella completed his series. In the same piece, she ponders: "What has changed? I have changed this year."

Like Alberstein and Stella, we live through uncertain times. Together we will use poetry, music, and art to inspire hope and help us break free of the repetitive cycles of trauma that lurk beneath the surface of this extraordinary work. 

Join us in-person at the Cincinnati Skirball Museum or via livestream. Reservations are recommended and can be made by emailing awheeler@huc.edu, calling (513) 487-3231, or visiting csm.huc.edu.
