ISH FESTIVAL

ISH IS A CINCINNATI-BASED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ORGANIZATION CENTERING JEWISH ARTS AND CULTURAL TRADITIONS AS A PLATFORM FOR CONNECTING ARTISTS WITH COMMUNITIES TO CREATE NEW EXPERIENCES, INSPIRE PRIDE IN JEWISH AND INTERSECTIONAL IDENTITY, AND FOSTER APPRECIATION OF CINCINNATI HISTORY AND JEWISH PEOPLEHOOD. ISH IS A DISRUPTOR, ADAPTER, AND INSTIGATOR OF SOCIAL-CULTURAL CHANGE. WE ARE A MOVEMENT FOR CREATIVE EXPRESSION, INCLUSION, HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN, AND CROSS-CULTURAL COLLABORATION, TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS AND IMPROVE OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. WHETHER JEWISH, JEW-ISH, (OR JUST HERE FOR THE MATZAH!), ISH BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER IN ARTISTIC AND CULTURAL EXPLORATION, AND THROUGH THAT EXPLORATION, BUILDS UNDERSTANDING.
