Leola Bermanzohn, a Brooklyn-based muralist, will produce a temporary, site-specific mural in response to the exhibition, The Dead Sea Scrolls: Mysteries of the Ancient World. The mural, Otiyot (Letters), will re-imagine the script of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Bermanzohn creates a new style of Hebrew lettering informed by Jewish mysticism, traditional calligraphy, and urban graffiti. |
