Title

Story Aperture: Reflections in Quarantine

Description

This set of questions formulated in response to the current moment utilizes JWA's pre-existing digital infrastructure for recording and submitting stories through its mobile application Story Aperture. In contrast to previous projects which focused on Jewish women's stories, these questions invite Jewish people of all genders to share their experience of the pandemic. An audio recording, brief written narrative, and a photo can also be uploaded to JWA's website. Plans are in place to revisit questions and adapt for different stages in the pandemic. Promoted through local and national Jewish news, institutional digital communications channels and by the Council of American Jewish Museums.
