And Europe Will Be Stunned

Yael Bartana’s controversial and acclaimed trilogy of films And Europe Will Be Stunned follow the evolution of the Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland, a not-quite-fictional organisation calling for the return of 3.3m Jews to the land of their forefathers. Layered with sounds, speeches and dialogue from the films, this edition of The Artangel Podcast hears from Bartana herself and several other speakers including those who attended the JRMiP's first congress in Berlin.
