Amit Leblang - Another Haggadah - Self-published 2024

Amit Leblang's Another Haggadah is a visual conversation about the past, a conversation for the future. A Haggadah ("telling") is a text that sets forth the order of the Passover Seder, a series of acts involving telling a story, asking questions and ritualized food and drink. It is a rare liturgical work in two ways: as a guidebook for families to conduct a labyrinthine, abstruse religious ritual, and as the only sacred Jewish book that encourages open retelling and personal intervention. Leblang deconstructs the text, intervening on intergenerational co-imbrications of identity.
Leblang's artistic research emerges from the urgent need to locate herself in history.
Her book is a the combination of translated ressources, from the conversation in her grandparents car to a founded journal. 
Self-published on the occasion of her exhibition at Saint-Martin Bookshop, April 2024 in an edition of 15 numbered copies.
