Sabbath Queen film screening and discussion with Sandi DuBowski
Time: 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Palamountain Hall Gannett Auditorium: A film screening of the documentary Sabbath Queen with a post-screening Q&A featuring director and producer Sandi DuBowski. The film is the result of 21 years of documenting the life of Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie who is “dynastic heir of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis including the Chief Rabbis of Israel.” The film demonstrates how Lau-Lavie is “torn between rejecting and embracing his destiny and becomes a drag-queen rebel, a queer bio-dad and the founder of Lab/Shul—an everybody-friendly, God-optional, artist-driven, pop-up experimental congregation.” The film traces Lau-Lavie’s life across both Israel and the United States to highlight the differing cultural, political, and religious contexts that shape Jewish identity in these two locations. This presentation is part of the Jacob Perlow Series sponsored by the Office of Special Programs and co-sponsored by MDOCS, Religious Studies, and Jewish Student Life.

Malloy Lecture with Njideka Akunyili Crosby
Time: 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM
Tang Teaching Museum Payne: Njideka Akunyili Crosby was born in Enugu, Nigeria in 1983 and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. Drawing on art historical, political and personal references, Akunyili Crosby creates densely layered figurative compositions that, while precise in style, conjure the complexity of contemporary experience. Her cultural identity combines strong attachments to the country of her birth and to her adopted home, a hybrid identity that is reflected in her work. Her extensive list of honors and awards includes an Honorary Doctorate of Art from Otis College of Art in 2024, a United States Artist Fellowship (2021), and a MacArthur Fellowship (2017.) Akunyili Crosby’s work is held in significant museum collections throughout the world. This event is free and open to the public; sponsored by the Art Department.
