Sephardi Modernities is a transnational forum devoted to the study of Sephardi and Mizrahi histories, cultures, and experiences of modernity.
In 2021, Angy Cohen and Yuval Evri launched the Sephardi Modernities Seminar Series, which has brought together scholars, artists, and activists to rethink Jewish modernity beyond dominant European frameworks and to foreground the histories, languages, memories, and political imaginations of Sephardi, Mizrahi, and Middle Eastern Jewish worlds.
Moving across archives, literature, political history, ethnography, religious life, music, memory, and contemporary debates, Sephardi Modernities opens a space for conversations that are both scholarly and collaborative.
