After YIISA

Yale,  YIISA,  Middle East, antisemitism,    : Dry Bones cartoon.
As Artist in Residence at YIISA, (Yale's Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism), I proposed the idea that antisemitism is a cultural virus ... a virus that is spread through the use of a specific set of viral graphic image codes. I wrote a YIISA working paper to analyze and describe the parasitic relationship between the antisemitism virus and the antisocial and dangerous mass movements which use it.

I am now planning to take the next step with a strategy based on those findings ...It'll be called "The Dry Bones Project to Fight Viral Antisemitism".

Stay tuned for further developments.
