YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
Etai Rogers-Fett (he/him) is a printmaker, judaica artist, and arts educator living on Piscataway land in Maryland. Etai is an artistic associate in the printshop at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center and teaches printmaking to youth and adults at various art centers in the DMV area. In his printmaking practice, Etai draws inspiration from Jewish craft traditions of papercutting, manuscript illumination, and calligraphy to create compositions that blend decorative and narrative imagery and explore the expressive potential of Hebrew and Yiddish typography. Etai plays with the genres of Jewish book arts in order to tell the stories of gender expansive identities often deliberately obscured from this historical body of work – weaving together archival research, folktales, and speculative imagining to trace vibrant trans and queer Jewish lineages.
