Meet the artists and authors behind "Dwelling in a Time of Plagues," a project launched by CANVAS, the Jewish arts and culture funding collaborative incubated at JFN, in partnership with Asylum Arts, the Council for American Jewish Museums,  the Jewish Book Council, LABA, and Reboot. The program features short talks by the following participating artists and authors: Julie Weitz, Tal Beery, Olivia Guterson, Mike Wirth, Hillel Smith, Maya Ciarrocchi, Bareket Kezwer, Rebecca Soffer, Moriel Rothman-Zecher, and Sarah Blake.

"Dwelling in a Time of Plagues" is a Jewish creative response to real-world plagues of our time. Collectively, the commissions in this constellation of art projects around North America grapple with contemporary crises: the global pandemic, institutional racism, xenophobia, ageism, forced isolation, and the climate crisis.
