In solidarity with Ukraine, FOJAM’s (Festival of Jewish Arts and Music) upcoming event 'When Women Speak of War: Artists Reckon with Wars Declared and Hidden', musicians, writers and performers will grapple with how we commemorate and memorialise the Holocaust, genocide and war in a theatrical collaboration at The National Theatre in St Kilda, Melbourne on the lands of the Yalukit-Willam Clan on Boon Wurrung Country.
Together with Ukrainian-Jewish-Australian writer and cultural historian Maria Tumarkin, who was born and raised in Kharkiv, we are bringing you a show that refuses the jingoistic, the sentimental, and the officially sanctioned ways of witnessing and remembering wars.
