In this episode of The Jewish futurism Lab, Jewish futurist and we’ll explore early Jewish futurism, Zionist art, and media history through Theodor Herzl’s Altneuland, Ephraim Moses Lilien’s Zionist Art Nouveau, and Boris Schatz’s Bezalel School in Jerusalem. He contrasts these utopian blueprints and design prototypes with the antisemitic hoax The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, showing how Jewish artists, writers, and educators used print, ritual objects, and visual culture to claim Jewish agency and design a different future.
