Screening of three short documentary episodes spotlighting jazz artist Mikolaj Trzaska, burlesque performer Betty Q, and queer/trans visual artists Marcella Poroszanka and Ezra Wojakowski. In the series, the artists speak with director Michael Rubenfeld, delving into their creative practices, Jewish identities, and personal journeys. The result is a powerful, intimate look at what it means to be Jewish and an artist in today’s Poland. KulturDocs sheds light on contemporary Jewish art in Poland, challenges old stereotypes, and sparks crucial conversations about Jewish identity and cultural expression.
