Agenda

Museos y Judaísmo: Arte, Historia y Memoria

Lecture by Santiago Palomero

Wednesday, January 30,

Institut d'Estudis Nahmànides

Lecture of the cycle "The arts in Judaism". In this cycle we propose the theme of artistic expression in Judaism, and how some of the visual arts translate aspects of memory, tradition and Jewish culture, cause their authors are of Jewish origin.

Jewish museums have pioneered the musealization of what is now called "historical memory". The experience of the Shoa provoked a museological reflection on the "heritage of barbarism" and the unique historical experience of the Jewish people has been reflected in "different" museums, which changed the museum landscape of the late 20th century. The conference will review some of the most significant experiences on the subject in Israel and Europe.

Santiago Palomero was deputy director of the Sephardic Museum of Toledo until 2006. He is currently Deputy Director General of State Museums in Madrid.
