DISLOYAL: A podcast from the Jewish Museum of Maryland
Disloyal is a podcast about art, culture, and history from the Jewish Museum of Maryland, and uses the Museum’s exhibits, programs and collections as launchpads for talking about the political, cultural, and spiritual trends that are shaping the world today through a distinctively Jewish lens.
The podcast title, Disloyal, is a response to the antisemitic trope that holds that Jews are disloyal, especially to the state, and a response to how social, religious, and political issues are often understood in terms of loyalty and disloyalty within Jewish communities.
The podcast asks: What does it mean to be loyal or disloyal, to a people, to a state, to an idea, to an artistic practice, to a family, to a political commitment?
Disloyal is co-hosted and produced by Naomi Weintraub, JMM’s Community Artist-in-Residence, and Mark Gunnery, Director of Communications and Content for the JMM.
The Disloyal logo is from the graphic artwork We Are The Disloyal Ones (2019) by RAYJ: Ami Weintraub.
