The Heinz History Center’s Rauh Jewish History Program & Archives will celebrate the Jewish holiday of Sukkot with a one-night-only, participatory experience featuring Pittsburgh artist Oreen Cohen.
Enter a sculptural Sukkah (a temporary hut-like structure built during Sukkot) where visitors can participate in Cohen’s celebration of the autumn harvest.
Inspired by the rich colors, textures, and life stories showcased in the Louise Silk: A Patchwork Life exhibition, the Gut Yontif: A Patchwork Holiday Experience series invites emerging artists to reimagine the themes of Sukkot, Chanukah, Tu B’Shvat, and Purim in new works of art.
The SteelTree board at the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh provided support for a series of events at the Rauh Jewish Archives around the Louise Silk exhibit.
