TUSKUNST PRINTS

“Tsukunst is a combination of two Yiddish words: tsukunft (future) and kunst (art). This represents the belief that art is a vessel for future-making, in how it can drive us in our present by making different possible futures vivid and palpable. Or as the double meaning of the yiddish phrase “es ken gemolt zayn” tells us: it is paintable / it is possible.

My practice as a printmaker and book artist is guided by building out a vibrant, forward-looking Jewish diaspora that challenges notions of belonging through nationalism and shared trauma in favor of shared engagement with ever-evolving practices of language, ritual, performance, and collectivist political participation.”

SUSTAIN
Our Work

We envision a festival that nourishes our communal learning, deepens our connection to one another, and creates the space for flourishing artistic and cultural innovation grounded in Yiddishkayt.

KlezCummington is largely a community-funded festival! We rely on your support to continue our work in building the Yiddishkayt community we wish to see in this world. Please consider giving generously to sustain this work!

Our VISION

“KlezCummington is one of those gatherings that leaves you with a deep sense of being rooted in history, being held by community, and being in on the creation of the future.”
