LabaLive Barcelona

Over the past year, the 2024 LABA Barcelona fellows have studied ancient Jewish texts on the theme of “NIGHT” in LABA’s non-theological, non-ideological, open-minded and free-spirited house of study. They encountered stories and ideas which fertilized new art and culture. Join us for an experience of these creative new works!

The prestigious plenary and panel sessions will provide researchers with an opportunity to present their work, while the program also includes a walk to commamorate Löw, and the official inauguration of parks named after Leopold Löw and Immanuel Löw.
The conference will take place from September 4–6, 2024, and will be hosted by the University of Szeged.

“Poland is Not Yet Lost”

"Jeszcze Polska... (Poland is not Yet Lost)" is an interactive, satirical, and futuristic theatrical performance that imagines a world where the State of Israel has been destroyed, leading to the return of three million Jews to Poland. The plot explores a Poland governed by Jewish leaders, including the country's president, portrayed by Maciej Stuhr (played by the real-life actor himself). Stuhr's decision to convert to Judaism inspires four million non-Jewish Poles to follow in his footsteps. In this alternate reality, the audience is invited to witness a crucial moment in Polish-Jewish history: a referendum that will decide whether to establish a new Jewish state in Poland.

Exploring the Emerging Dynamics of Migration Policies and Border Violence

The seminar took place in Świnoroje in Podlasie, on the Polish-Belarusian border. It brought together researchers from different countries who presented their respective empirical work on border violence and who responded to the invitation to join us in advancing critical dialogue on migration, border violence, social struggles and social justice. Speakers were selected based on abstracts submitted in response to an open call circulated through academic and activist networks. In addition to the speakers and other active participants in the seminar, about 25 other people attended the sessions and the opening of the exhibitions (activists and humanitarian workers, local residents and international students from the University of Warsaw who joined the discussion).
