Artist on Artist: Deborah Conway and Libbi Gorr

Join two icons of wit and wisdom: Deborah Conway and Libbi Gorr, for an unforgettable conversation as they dive deep into the essence of *chutzpah.
With equal parts audacity and charm, Deborah and Libbi will share their own chutzpadik adventure; moments that have occasionally landed them in hot water and at other times, led to unexpected victories.
This lively exchange will complement our new major exhibition: Chutzpah: Spirit. Recollection. Self., a thought-provoking display that invites us into a creative dialogue on the complexities of Jewish identity.
Explore the courage required for artists to navigate and engage with Jewish themes in today’s world, particularly in the face of rising antisemitism, cancel culture and a loss of cultural safety. Don't miss this opportunity to experience chutzpah in action.
*chutzpah: Yiddish, extreme self-confidence or audacity.
