Golem v Golem is one of 3 installation nationally as part of Dwelling in a Time of Plagues, made possible by CANVAS. Designed for Instagram, follow artist Julie Weitz’s alter ego, the Golem, as she takes a serious look at what plagues us today. This unfolding narrative will feature one episode each day of the holiday, as well as a companion literary collaboration, “What We Talk About When We Talk to the Golem,” by Moriel Rothman-Zecher.
