Holey Wholly Holy: Visualizing Jewish Disability Justice
Through her art practice, Sibony has been exploring how we embody our spiritual lives, how chronic illness affects our relationship to community and belonging, and how Jewish spaces can be more spiritually centering places of recursive healing, strength, and interdependence. This illustrated lecture features text and image study, putting the teachings of Torah alongside a new series of poster images that she created last year for the JCC Association of North America’s Eight Guiding Principles on Inclusion.
