How can you be a force for good? Head to Plummer Park in West Hollywood to reflect on the Jewish value of justice for the Skirball's first-ever off-site exhibition.
On view are six monuments meant to evoke large tzedakah boxes—vessels in which Jews traditionally collect money to be donated to charity. The goal of Be the Change: A Jewishly Inspired Public Art Movement is to elevate this concept physically and conceptually, using the tzedakah box as a sculptural form that can drive change in our community.
Participating organizations, themes, and artists:
Be the Change is a national project started by the Boston-based Jewish Arts Collaborative (J Arts), which serves as lead producer. Artist Caron Tabb—whose Fabric of Humanity—Repairing My World was recently on view at the Skirball—was inspired to create the exhibition concept in partnership with Ruth Messinger, former CEO and President of American Jewish World Service.
