Artist Emily Rena Williams Discusses Documentation of Rural Jewish Communities at Chandler Hall

Artist and educator Emily Rena Williams presented her work, 'We had to know who we were; We had to know who we weren’t,' at Chandler Hall. Her project documents Jewish communities in rural areas of the South through photography and interviews. Williams emphasized that her work aims to represent the diverse experiences within the Jewish South, rather than drawing a singular conclusion. She focuses on cataloging the built environment, capturing the existing state of places occupied by these communities, both active and former. This includes sites like an old dollar store in Jasper, Alabama, once owned by a Jewish family, and an abandoned Jewish cemetery near Osyka, Mississippi. Williams travels extensively, spending approximately four months each year documenting these areas.

Duchess Sophie Hosts Luncheon to Bridge Business, Industry, and Arts

Duchess Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, recently hosted a special luncheon at St James’s Palace, bringing together prominent figures from the worlds of business, industry, and the arts. The event was held as part of her ongoing patronage of the Hallé Concerts Society, a Manchester-based musical organization with a history spanning over 160 years. The Duchess welcomed guests to the gathering on Wednesday, emphasizing the enduring connection between Manchester's industrial heritage and its cultural identity, which remains central to the Hallé today. This engagement follows her previous visits to the Hallé in Manchester, including a 2023 event where she formally opened the Oglesby Centre at Hallé St Peter’s and attended a performance by the Hallé Ancoats Community Choir. The Hallé's origins trace back to 1858 when German-born pianist and conductor Sir Charles Hallé founded his orchestra in Manchester, with its first concert taking place on January 30 of that year at the city’s Free Trade Hall, during a peri...
