OPENING FEB 17, 2022
This February, help us welcome Tikkun: For the Cosmos, the Community, and Ourselves to The Contemporary Jewish Museum (The CJM)—an exhibition featuring works by thirty Bay Area–based contemporary artists reflecting on the Jewish concept of tikkun (Hebrew for “to repair”). The twelfth iteration of The Dorothy Saxe Invitational at The CJM, this exhibition re-examines tikkun as a phenomenon of care and interconnectedness that is grounded in personal action, environmental responsibility, and community, unfixed from its evolving meanings throughout history. Taken together, the works in this exhibition consider how the concept of tikkun can help us look critically both inward and outward, guide us through change, and build resilience for the ongoing work of repair.
