Yiddish New York: Lecture
Brivele at Yiddish New York
Lecture: “From the Well & the Swamp: Tracing the Lineages of Anti-Fascist Poetry & Song”
Through a stirring blend of storytelling and music, Brivele presents an intimate lecture-performance exploring the Yiddish archives of anti-fascist poetry and song. This presentation highlights the transformation of two songs from the 1930s, "Di Moorsoldaten" and "Di Krenetse." The diasporas of these songs, traveling over borders and into different languages, helps us trace so many intersecting lineages from German anti-fascist and labor history to the internationalist struggle against Franco, to the conveniently forgotten intimacy between Immigrant radicalism, Communist avant-garde artists, folkies, Yiddishists, and Black liberation politics on Turtle Island. Initially researched for Maia Brown’s 2024 artist residency at Town Hall Seattle, these stories continue to evolve as research findings reveal new connections.
Brivele in Conversation at University of Victoria
1PM - HICKMAN BUILDING 116 - UVIC
Join us for a talk with Seattle based ensemble Brivele, who braid together Yiddish song, anti-fascist and labor balladry, folk-punk, and contemporary rabble-rousing in stirring vocal harmony.
