Presenter Bios
Etai is a printmaker and arts-educator, living on Piscataway land in Maryland. Etai works as an printmaking associate at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center and teaches printmaking and book arts at several art centers in the DMV area. In his art practice, Etai is often working at the intersection of print culture and Yiddish, weaving together archival research, oral history and storytelling, and speculative imagining. Etai understands slow, deliberate acts of repetition, transmission, and transformation as the connective marrow between the cultural dimensions of his work and the technical side of craft traditions like printmaking.
Yael Horowitz is a scholar-practitioner of Yiddish performance living on Lenape land in Queens New York. She is currently getting her PhD at the CUNY Graduate Center in Theatre and Performance. Her work focuses on friendship and intimacy as a site of cultural transmission. Big life highlights include seeing a bait ball while SCUBA diving, creating big puppet parades, and every single time she’s ever seen a whale.
