We are building a sukkah for this year’s City Wide Open Studios in New Haven!
CWOS happens to take place on Sukkot, and their theme is Transported/Illuminated, so it is very relevant! This will be a collaborative project with artists, builders, and others. The basic structure of the sukkah will be a wood frame, fabric walls, cyanotype artwork incorporated into the fabric, and a plant based roof.
We will meet with Rabbi Yaffe of Chabad of the Shoreline to study texts related to the meaning of Sukkah; in particular how it helps us find comfort, light, and joy within transition, displacement, the temporary, etc.
Leah Caroline will conduct a cyanotype workshop to make the artwork for the sukkah.
The Alternative Space weekend at the Goffe Street Armory (when the Sukkah will be displayed) is October 11 and 12.
Please let us know if you would like to participate in any way, or if you know someone who would. Looking forward to working on this project, and sharing the joy of this wonderful holiday! Email Leah at artistbeitmidrash at gmail dot com.
