Colloquium Vilnense in Spring 2014 invites for an interdisciplinary discussion of recent research on Jewish cultural histories in Central- and Eastern Europe. Today New York and Jerusalem are among the centers of research on the Jewish past and present of Lithuania and its impact beyond its present day borders. In Vilnius a new generation of scholars has started to explore Jewish everyday life only relatively recently.

The aim of Colloquium Vilnense is to bring together very different perspectives of scholars from outside and inside of Lithuania and to create a space of joint discussion of new research questions, methodological approaches and future strategies for a cultural history of Jewish everyday life in Lithuania. It will be framed by the exhibition “Lithuanian Tallit” with paintings by the Kaunas based artist Ewa Pohlke and a concert by Jascha Nemtsov (Piano) and Karen Bentley Pollick (Violin & Viola) with interpretations of Vilne born composers.

Colloquium Vilnense in Spring 2014 is organized jointly by Vilnius University's Faculty of History, the Center for the Study of the Culture and History of Eastern European Jews, European Humanities University’s Faculty of History and the Vilnius Center for German Studies.
