Virtual Encounter via Zoom / Dorothea Lange Archive, Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) (in Hebrew)
Due to the current national security situation, the Museum will be closed to the public. Most activities in physical spaces are postponed until further notice, except for a few events (free of charge, but advance registration is required).
We are all going through extremely trying times. In a bid to help, however modestly, we continue to offer, for the fourth week running, an hour of respite, by providing captivating lectures and encounters every day, free of charge, via Zoom.
This week we will recall past exhibitions at the Museum, get to know some of the beloved works in its collection, and visit important collections around the world. We invite you, the culture-loving public, to enjoy an hour of curiosity.
We wish everyone days of peace.

Dorothea Lange Archive, Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) / Lecturer: Noa Rosenberg, Curator of Modern Art and 16th–19th Century European Art
American photographer Dorothea Lange (1885–1965) became known during the Great Depression as a pioneer of American photojournalism. Her compassionate photographs had a decisive impact on the development of documentary photography, and she is still considered one of the most influential photographers of the early 20th century. We will wander through the digital archive site of the Oakland Museum, San Francisco, and explore some of Lange’s key photographs held there.
Note: This activity is in Hebrew only.
