SUMMARY:Di Nest: Yiddish Arts Incubator
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to start writing in Yiddish but have questions about creating in a language you are still learning? Have you been making art in Yiddish for a while and want feedback on your latest project? Do you want to be part of the first audience for new Yiddish art and support artists with your feedback? Then join us at Di Nest! \nDi Nest is an arts incubator for Yiddish creativity. Join us to share your own projects and/or to help workshop community members’ works in progress. IF YOU WANT TO WORKSHOP A PROJECT\, PLEASE EMAIL LILYE AT YIDDISH@CIRCLEBOSTON.ORG BEFORE THE MEETING. Emailing at least a couple days before Di Nest is especially appreciated. \nProjects in any medium that are in\, or prominently feature\, Yiddish are welcome–including original works and translations into Yiddish. Di Nest is open to Yiddish speakers and students of all levels. Whether you’re just starting to create in Yiddish or have been doing so for years\, you’re welcome to attend!  \nEach session will include time to workshop material from several participants. Attendees are invited to bring a project to share—but we also welcome attendees who join us to listen\, learn\, and offer feedback.  \nSharing a Yiddish work-in-progress can be daunting\, so we will ask ALL attendees to briefly unmute and introduce themselves. \nDi Nest is open to Yiddish speakers and students of all levels. Whether you’re just starting to create in Yiddish or have been doing so for years\, you’re welcome to attend! Sessions will be in a mix of Yiddish and English.  \nThis program is a collaboration between Boston Workers Circle and Rad Yiddish. \nRegister here.
