The proposed Jewish Arts Quarter would aim to showcase the diaspora's 'culture, creativity and expression'
Melbourne could get its own "Jewish Lygon Street", showcasing the diaspora's art, history and culture in the city's south.
From Israeli dance workshops to Yiddish performances, art and craft markets, and street festivals, it is hoped the quarter will be a creative hub to learn, shop, eat, meet and schmooze. "We want to be a broad church and that is to give a sense of Jewish culture, creativity, expression, without dogma," he said.
Jewish Museum of Australia director Jess Bram said it was "phenomenally exciting" and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the organisations to offer an experience as a collective."It's a reinvigoration of Jewish life and culture in one streetscape," she said. "There's a profound impact that will have, not only in the way that we engage with our audiences and the Jewish community, but more globally as well in terms of the storytelling that we can do.
