    Our Story – A Journey to Poland & Central Europe May 22 – June 2, 2019 An Authentic Israel Experience in Europe Dear Our Story Travelers, Dzien dobry! Jo napot kivanok! Dobry den! Hallo! Hello and welcome! Thank you for choosing to travel with us to Europe on an Authentic Israel experience. We look forward to sharing 12 memorable days together as we travel from Poland to Hungary and on to Slovakia, Austria and Czechia. Together we will explore, learn, bear witness, and share moments of joy – returning home with a new sense of perspective on Europe’s Jewish history and world heritage. We hope you will find the Our Story journey to be packed with varied activities, historical touring and cultural opportunities. Our days are full and on-the-go, with lots of walking (on lots of cobblestones), standing, seeing, imagining and experiencing. This is certainly not a through-the-bus-window style tour! We want you to have the fullest and most authentic experience possible where it happened. We look forward to welcoming you, and we hope you are looking forward to all that awaits – new discoveries, new food, new friendships, sharing in our Jewish narrative and forming meaningful memories together. The Authentic Israel Team PROGRAM ITINERARY The following is an updated itinerary – still subject to reasonable change based on local conditions.

Une vie sans contrainte qui nous apparaît à des années lumière de notre quotidien. Ce vent de liberté d’expression avant l’épidémie du sida transparaît dans cette fresque noir et blanc. Nous sommes très heureux d’exposer pour la première fois en France ce travail d’Arlene Gottfried à la galerie. Une grande dame de la photographie qui mérite d’être mieux connue. Commissaires d’exposition : Laurence Cornet et Françoise Morin Contact : Françoise Morin 01 78 94 03 00 - [email protected] ARLENE GOTTFRIED Arlene Gottfried, dont le travail est encore mal connu en France, est avant tout new-yorkaise. Toute son œuvre s’inscrit dans ce monde urbain très spécifique, qui a constamment nourri sa soif d’observation depuis l’enfance. L’exposition organisée aux Douches présente - pour la première fois à Paris – une sélection de photographies de jeunesse, prises dans les années 70 et 80, lorsqu’elle sillonnait sans cesse Brooklyn à la recherche de lieux vivants, de tronches étonnantes, de scènes de rue insolites. C’est une spontanéité détachée d’ambition qui dessine son parcours. Refusant de faire des études, elle a préféré prendre un emploi de bureau pendant la journée et apprendre la photographie en cours du soir.

Courtesy Les Douches la Galerie Ce travail documentaire « Bacalaitos and Fireworks » de la photographe new yorkaise Arlene Gottfried porte sur la communauté portoricaine de New York. Une communauté qu’elle fréquente assidument depuis quarante ans, qui a accompagné ses débuts de photographe et qui est en quelque sorte devenue, au fil du temps, une seconde famille. Dans ce travail couleur, on retrouve les mêmes qualités d’observation que dans sa série « Sometimes Overwhelming » avec ce regard distancié, plein d’empathie et teinté d’humour. Ces photographies s’inscrivent pleinement dans la lignée des travaux de Bruce Wrighton, Tom Arndt ou Homer Sykes que nous défendons à la galerie. Les tirages présentés sont des Cibachrome d’époque, exceptionnels. Avec la complicité de Laurence Cornet, c’est la deuxième exposition que nous consacrons à Arlene Gottfried.

Un soir, j’ai entendu un marchand ambulant crier « bacalaitos et feux d’artifice ! » : les bacalaitos, des beignets de morue à la portoricaine, et les feux d’artifice pour le week-end du Quatre-Juillet.
