Exhibition “Black Jews, White Jews? On Skin Color and Prejudice”

Publié le 20 January 2026

Until 26 April 2026 at the Jewish Museum Vienna

This bold exhibition explores issues of perception related to skin colour in the eyes of others, but also in one’s own eyes. In particular, it examines the question of Jewish identity and its link to self-definition, anti-Semitism and racism. This perspective is all the more interesting since 7 October and the explosion of anti-Semitic acts and the racist categorisation of Jews as ‘white colonial oppressors’, ignoring the fact that Jews of all skin colours have existed for thousands of years.
