A space without borders.

Donate any amount and keep track of Yiddishland Pavilion development
The Yiddishland Pavilion unfolds alongside the Venice Biennale as a self-initiated, self-funded project—carried by a small, dedicated team of artists, curators, researchers, and organizers working across geographies.

Rooted in the politics of diaspora, Yiddishland challenges the logic of the nation-state, giving voice to a culture shaped by migration, memory, and multilingualism. Through performances, exhibitions, public programs, and digital interventions, we create a space where Yiddish culture is not only remembered, but reactivated—fluid, alive, and in conversation with global struggles.

This work takes time, labor, and care. We need your support to cover essential costs: artist fees, production, travel, materials, digital infrastructure, and accessibility. Every donation helps us stay independent and sustain this ambitious platform for radical, borderless cultural practice.
Please donate. Your support makes this possible.
If you believe in art as resistance,
in culture without walls,
in the power of Yiddishland —
In Yiddish tradition, the khupe is the wedding canopy, a symbol of creating something new and shared. It is supported by pillars—shtangen—that not only offer structural support, but also represent resilience, connection, and collective responsibility. These pillars uphold the khupe, just as those who support the Yiddishland Pavilion help sustain this living, borderless cultural space.

The Pavilion, much like the khupe, thrives through the strength of its community—one rooted in shared imagination and committed to challenging boundaries, whether political, cultural, or geographic. While it unfolds alongside the Venice Biennale, the Pavilion stands apart from national representation, offering a space free from state borders and embracing diaspora as presence, resilience, and cultural resistance.

When you contribute $900 or more to the Yiddishland Pavilion, you become an Honorary Khupe Shtang—an essential pillar in this transnational project. Your support helps us continue to develop new artistic productions, artist fees, travel, and the expansion of both our offline and online programming.

As a gesture of our gratitude, we will send you a personalized plaque/artwork, celebrating your unique contribution to this evolving vision.

Your support is not just a donation—it becomes an integral part of Yiddishland Pavilion, an important part of its architectural and conceptual structure.
