Philadelphia visual artist Zoe Cohen will present a talk on her recent work. Zoe's search for meaningful connections to the history of Judaism led her to explore the iconography and earth-based belief systems of Ancient Near Eastern cultures. This session will include a slide presentation and discussion, as well as an opportunity for participants to create their own Jewish symbolic imagery.
