SUMMARY:Käthe Schuftan\, ‘Prophetess of Spirit’: the rediscovery of a forgotten artist
DESCRIPTION:“She believed in creative energy . . . She has lived\, and always with her art and her great energy tried to provoke everybody else to live\, in the light of freedom\, in the light of spirit; and if\, therefore\, we could have a way of remembering her\, let us always remember her as a prophetess of spirit and of freedom. That is all that she would want from us.” \nFrom the eulogy given by Eugene Halliday at Käthe Schuftan’s funeral \nThis is the story of the German Jewish refugee artist Käthe Schuftan (born Breslau 1899) who arrived in Manchester in June 1939 after suffering greatly at the hands of the Nazis and having had much of her work destroyed. She became an important figure in the artistic community of Manchester\, teaching and inspiring young artists and exhibiting her work\, but following a retrospective organised by a close friend after her death\, her work disappeared and she was forgotten. But not by an eight year old child who\, over fifty years later\, discovered documents which led her to retrace Käthe’s steps\, meeting people who had bought her paintings which had eventually resurfaced decades after her death\, thus leading to the rediscovery of the life of this remarkable woman. \nHephzibah Yohannan is an artist and writer\, once the child who was eight years old when Käthe Schuftan died\, too soon\, in 1958. She is currently working on the biographies of Käthe and of her friend the artist\, writer and psychotherapist Eugene Halliday; and is the editor of the Halliday Review and of the Melchisedec Press\, an independent publisher. \nImage: Portrait of Käthe Schuftan by Eugene Halliday \n  \nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Kosher Giraffe Trilogy: A talk by Hugo Max
DESCRIPTION:‘There’s an old Jewish joke that giraffe meat would be kosher\, if only we knew where to cut the neck…’ \nIn his latest publication Austrian-British multidisciplinary artist Hugo Max explores the internment of his great-grandfather as an ‘enemy alien’ on the Isle of Man during the Second World War. \nThis book showcases a triptych of exploratory narrative films and accompanying projects that include documentaries\, paintings\, writings\, musical performances and collaborations that were created in the process of researching his family history. \nInspired by the creative spirit of the refugee community who were held in requisitioned hotels on the island\, these projects consider the intersection of fact and fiction in family memory and celebrate creativity as a source of cross-cultural communication and hope. \nTo mark the publication of his new book Kosher Giraffe Trilogy\, Max will share the journey of his research as the fourth-generation descendant of an internee and will discuss the featured films and paintings. \nHugo Max (b. 2002) is a British-Austrian filmmaker\, painter and musician. He graduated from The Ruskin School of Art / Magdalen College\, Oxford in 2023 with a degree in Fine Art and studied film at the Friedl Kubelka School for Independent Film\, Vienna. \nHis filmography as a writer-director includes Dissonance\, a short film observing a string quartet in rehearsal; he also performs live improvised scores to silent films on solo viola at venues across the UK. He has lectured on improvisation and multidisciplinary practice at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.\nHugo is the author of three books: Kosher Giraffe Trilogy (2024)\, The Dissonance Book (2023) and The Stanley Series(2020). \nImage: film still \nTo book\, click here.
