Tune-in to radio613â²s 80th episode to hear our feature interview with Jenna Brager, artist, academic and zine-maker extraordinaire! Jennaâs latest project is the Doykeit zine series. Doykeit is Yiddish for âhereness,â which references The Bundâs perspective of the need for Jews to make a home and a political commitment to change âhere and nowâ. The zines explore how the intersections of a Jewish & queer/feminist identification inform an anti-zionist politic as well as exploring themes of solidarity, identity and more.
The specific theme for Doykeit #2 is Diaspora and submissions are still being accepted! Jenna is particularly asking for âwriting and art that considers one or more of the following topics: diaspora, home and âhomeland,â galut, displacement, dispersal, remembrance, intergenerational relationships, borders, nationalism, and violence.â While the zineâs name comes from a Yiddish term, it aims to include âsite(s) of diaspora and site(s) of âhomeââ from around the globe. Read the full call-out here. Note that the submission deadline will remain open until enough submissions are received. Contact Jenna directly to find out more about her projects and see how you can be involved: sassyfrasscircus@gmail.com.
In addition to our interview with Jenna, we were lucky to be given two recordings by the authors of pieces found in Doykeit #1.
