The Bente Kahan Foundation is recruiting participants for the "Yiddish between Norway and Poland" workshop inspired by Yiddish culture and tradition
The workshop is addressed to artists working both in one specific art form and those working in a combination of various disciplines of art. The workshop will be held in English by Yoav Rossano along with two mentors, Mira Aleksiun and Lev Stern.
The eight artists taking part in the workshops – four from Norway and four from Poland – will gather together in order to create their own interpretation of Yiddish culture. In addition, the finished projects will be presented at two exhibitions in the summer of 2015 at the White Stork Synagogue in Wrocław at the end of the workshop on Sunday, 9 August and in the Centre for the Study of the Holocaust and Religious Minorities (HL Senterest) in Oslo on August 27th.

- Technical assistants
- Transport to Wroclaw, Poland for the Norwegian participants
