SUMMARY:Exhibit: “Yearning to Breathe: The Art of Siona Benjamin”
DESCRIPTION:Fordham Libraries and Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies present the art of Siona Benjamin. \nAs a Bene Israel Jewish woman from India now living in the United States\, Siona Benjamin is a Jewish artist creating cross-cultural and transcultural art. Her perspective bridges the traditional and the modern and sparks discourse across cultures. Having grown up in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim society in India\, where she was educated in Catholic and Zoroastrian schools and raised Jewish\, Benjamin always has been reflecting on cultural boundary zones. \nHer perspective remains transcultural and multicultural at heart\, combining the imagery of her past with the role she plays in America today. Her art is a kaleidoscope of images inspired by illuminated manuscripts and multicultural mythology. The blue-skinned characters are a signature feature of Benjamin’s paintings. She sees them as self-portraits of sorts through which she explores ancient and contemporary dilemmas. These characters become symbols of a timeless global identity free of prejudices and boundaries. \nBenjamin is originally from Mumbai and currently lives and works in Montclair\, New Jersey. Her work reflects her background of being brought up Jewish in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim India. In her paintings\, she combines the imagery of her past with the role she plays in America today\, making a mosaic inspired by both Indian miniature paintings and Jewish and Christian illuminated manuscripts. \nThe art is on view at the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Room at the Walsh Family Library on the Rose Hill campus and at Quinn Library on the Lincoln Center campus.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Citizenship\, Inclusion\, and the Struggle to Belong
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores the ways that exclusion affects minority groups in Western-dominant societies. It explores the ways in which Jews were excluded from European Christian-dominated society based on Christian notions of Jewish inferiority and the way Black people were excluded and marginalized in the United States and Europe based on race and association with slavery. We contemplate the idea of citizenship and belonging not only from the perspective of inclusion but also from the perspective of legal and social exclusion. We examine mechanisms of marginalization and exclusion: marking people and spaces\, use of language\, law\, and also violence. We also examine the way these marginalized groups navigated exclusion\, highlighting their coping mechanisms\, resilience\, and resistance to oppression and their unabashed demands of full equality and inclusion. We confront here this critical chapter in the history of the U.S.\, Europe\, and the Western Hemisphere to better reflect on its enduring impact on the ongoing struggle for justice in “Citizenship\, Inclusion\, and the Right to Belong.” \nThe exhibit was curated by Wes Alcenat\, Corinne Gibson\, FCRH ’24\, and Magda Teter.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: “Fordham’s Babel: An Exploration of World Languages in the Special Collections”
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit\, featuring centuries-old books and manuscripts\, explores Western interest in languages. At first\, we try to situate the story of Babel in a non-Western context\, highlighting non-European languages. The exhibit then traces the Renaissance study of languages through the lens of the Bible and its translations and of ancient material relics\, such as obelisks\, coins\, and other remains. We also showcase the tools scholars produced to study languages—for example\, medieval and Renaissance-era grammar books and lexicons. The exhibit ends with a reflection on the impact of language study and classification on the formation of identities and prejudices in the Western world. How did early 20th-century Westerners classify languages and peoples? What does it say about their understanding of nationalities and cultures and their place within a society of their own? \nThe exhibit was curated by Gabriella DiMeglio\, Miriam Krakowski\, FCRH ’27\, and Magda Teter.
