Abstract
dedicated to appearances of piyyutim in contemporary culture. It is an academic event - exploring topics such as recent shifts in the settings in which piyyutim are performed; the ongoing exchange between the piyyut archive and other art forms and medias; the sociocultural and political contexts in which piyyutim function today; and the ways they connect various communities and identities - as well as an experiential and performative one, featuring participatory workshops by contemporary artists whose work engages histories of the piyyut.
