Justin Goldner

Digital Storytellers Lab

2025-2026 Fellow

נודע בגולה Noyde ba-Goyle ("Revealed in Exile")

A collaborative musical project that brings Yiddish poetry and stories into vibrant, contemporary life—creating a living thread between generations and cultures. Through original compositions, intercultural collaborations, and digital storytelling, I place diasporic Jewish voices in conversation with universal experiences of identity, exile, and belonging.
