Join curator, artist, and photographer Jason Langer as he discusses his exhibition and book, Berlin: A Jewish Ode to the Metropolis. The program will also include a brief walkthrough of the exhibition led by the curator, as well as book signings.

Langer’s Berlin project is deeply personal and the product of a five-year reconciliation of the impressions of the Holocaust that were seeded in the photographer as a 10-year-old living on a kibbutz in Israel. Over five years, Langer was able to undo the fearful impressions about Germany that had been instilled in his mind as a child. His photography shows that Berlin is a city of dichotomies with symbols of division and reunification everywhere.
