Villa Seligmann cordially invites you to a musical fashion workshop! The “myJcon” project is organizing a workshop that encourages people to explore Jewish identity in a creative setting.
The event offers a thematic input on Jewish music including a short concert, followed by a work phase to develop your own design ideas. After the lunch break with a shared lunch, the designs created will be transferred to T-shirts or jute bags. The final stage is the presentation of the results.
All interested persons are cordially invited, regardless of their religious affiliation or previous knowledge.
The participation fee is 15 euros. This includes lunch, materials and an item of clothing to take home.
About myJcon
myJcon is a young project from Germany that is dedicated to Jewish identity in the form of fashion workshops. It combines connection, conversation & confidence:
-
Connection – myJcon connects people with each other.
-
Conversation – It creates spaces for respectful exchange.
-
Confidence – It empowers people to carry their Jewish identity with confidence.
The aim is to make knowledge about Jewish identity creatively accessible
myJcon offers workshops for teenagers and young adults that focus on topics such as Judaism, fashion and personal identity. These workshops promote creative work – such as drawing your own designs – through to implementation on textiles such as T-shirts. The workshops have already been held at various events across Germany and have covered topics such as cultural identity, Jewish holidays and the creative expression of personal history.
The event is funded by the federal program “Demokratie leben!” of the Federal Ministry of Education, Family, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, as well as by the Office for Strengthening Democracy and Against Right-Wing Extremism of the City of Hanover.
