Queer Shabbaton Amsterdam 2005
5-6 August, 2005
www.queershabbaton.org
Queer Shabbaton Amsterdam is an annual weekend for queer Jews and
offers a
unique forum for discussion and networking. Don't miss out!
Main guestspeaker: Daniel Boyarin (UC of California, Berkeley)
During this weekend in Europe's hottest capital, we will focus on
spirituality, arts, politics and creativity. By means of workshops and
discussions led by international authorities in various fields, we will
interpret the rich and diverse traditions in which our 'identities' are
rooted. Through close reading, we will discover and formulate
discourses
within Jewish tradition and history that enable us to question
normalized
presumptions about gender, sexuality and identity. How Jewish are these
concepts of criticism, change and gender-play? Through these
alternative
discourses within Jewish tradition, we will also try to formulate a
specific queer Jewish consciousness.
This queer Jewish consciousness will be further explored through
consciousness raising and creativity: through art and storytelling
workshops we will share our stories and (re-)define ourselves and our
desires.
Oh, and the Queer Shabbaton Amsterdam is a great way to finally meet
nice
Jewish grrrzls and boyz from all over Europe, the States and Israel.
Entertainment and lots of delicious shabbat food will play a central
role
this weekend!
This shabbaton will take place from Friday the 5th till Saturday the
6th of
August 2005. Amsterdam Gay Pride will take place on Saturday and the
shabbaton will offer a great framework to watch or even participate in
this
event. The Queer Shabbaton will be held in one of Amsterdam's oldest
synagogues, the Uilenburg Synagogue. Hospitality housing for the
shabbaton
will be arranged.
