The HBI welcomes the fourth annual Hadassah-Brandeis Institute (HBI) Artist-in-Residence, Sarah Zell Young. Her exhibition for the WSRC/HBI, Occupy Sanhedrin, will examine roles—both religious and secular—for Jewish women from the Second Temple to the present and will explore how bodies can become hazarded in the pursuit of justice. In addition to photographs, the exhibition will feature a large, site-specific installation—an interactive and participatory rendition of a Sanhedrin (rabbinic court). By granting access to an historical space of justice—making it physical—Young invites viewers to engage with traditional ideas and received wisdom of judicatory in a new way and to achieve personal agency over their own relationship to history. Sarah Young received her BFA in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design and is studying toward her MFA in Combined Media from Hunter College, New York.
