Speaker: Dr. David Weinfeld is a scholar of North American Judaism and Jewish history with a focus on ideas of diversity and the intersection of religion, race, ethnicity, and culture.
Lecture: Horace Kallen, Alain Locke, and Cultural Pluralism as Friendship: A Different Vision of Black-Jewish Relations
In this talk, Dr. Weinfeld will use the example of the friendship between two American philosophers, Jewish immigrant Horace Kallen (1882-1974) and African American Alain Locke (1885-1954) to explore how the two men helped develop the idea of cultural pluralism, a precursor to today’s multiculturalism. In so doing, Weinfeld would examine how the model of cultural pluralism as friendship could apply to the case of Black-Jewish relations in the United States, which has been affected by the recent war between the Israeli military and Hamas in Gaza.
Tuesday, May 6, 11 a.m.-12 p.m., Large Auditorium
Speaker: Chenlin Cai, DCCC Art Professor
Lecture Title: Expression of Asian Culture in Mural Art
Philadelphia is the mural capital of the United States. Among the more than 4,500 murals, those about Asian culture and history are underrepresented, which is inconsistent with the proportion of the Asian population. As an Asian artist, Chenlin Cai is thinking about how to increase public participation in murals with limited public resources and support, and explore using mural art as a medium to spread Asian culture and history. And to attract a new generation of Asian immigrants to express themselves more through art.
