LaurieAnn Yeisley-Drogin. 2022. Miriam's Cup 5782.
Artist Statement:
"Daughter of"
"Sister of"
You had a name
Guardian of the young and helpless
Sustainer of your people
Prophet raising spirits in celebration
Daughter, Sister, Guardian, Sustainer, Prophet
Every woman of every generation
Has wandered her own desert
Guarding, sustaining, raising spirits
From generation to generation
Women have kept the stories of our people alive
From generation to generation
Women have been guardians of the young and helpless
Hiding children in baskets on the Nile and in attics and under floorboards in Berlin and Kiev
From generation to generation
Women have been sustainers of our people
Telling the stories, sharing the recipes, lighting candles in the darkness
From generation to generation
Women have been prophets of hope
Leading songs of defiance, celebration, and deliverance in the face of tyranny and despair
From generation to generation
Your story sustains your daughters as living water sustained those who wandered at G-d's direction
We raise your cup
We say your name
Miriam
This piece came to me as a dream, with women of varying hues, of many generations, carrying Miriam's Cup to establish our place at the seder. As we celebrate the deliverance of the Exodus, one of many survival stories of our people, we remember the women who have been at the heart of every Passover meal, generation after generation, and we celebrate them.
