PoliticoPopUp2 – An art happening of Photography, Painting, Sculpture, Video, Live Music, Spoken Word, Poetry, Artist Talks, and community art making. Over 40 artists from New Orleans, the country, and the world. Curated by the Catalyst Collective New Orleans, Leona Strassberg Steiner.
PoliticoPopUp2 was conceived specifically for artists who create political art without an outlet to have their work seen by the public, because of political or social content. The PoliticoPopUp2 art happening includes photography, painting, sculpture, multi media work, printmaking, video, live music, spoken word, and poetry readings.
Dorit Jordan Dotan, multidisciplinary artist, was born in 1961, in Haifa, Israel. Jordan-Dotan has recently relocated to Chicago, where she lives and works.
For the past twenty years, she has run her own independent graphic design studio.
Most of her clients have been non-profit Israeli-Palestinian organizations active in the areas of peace, co-existence, women’s issues and human rights. She has created an impressive body of mixed media fine art images and photographs, including architectural, textural and urban genres.
Directly through her modern interpretations, the art she has been creating in recent years has increasingly brought Ms. Jordan Dotan closer to the substance of Judaism.
She has created a wide variety of hand-painted ketubot, incorporating ancient and modern designs.
Ms. Jordan Dotan is currently acting as guest curator at the Lubeznik Center for the Arts, Michigan City, Indiana for an upcoming 2017 exhibition.
