Pnina at the Jewish Book Festival Vancouver

Pnina will be appearing at the Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver’s 2022 Jewish Book Festival on February 9 at 1 pm. You can register by following this link on Eventbrite.

Pnina will be introducing her new book of poetry, Garden of Words.

The Cherie Smith JCC Jewish Book Festival is one of Vancouver’s leading cultural and literary events, attracting a large and varied audience of over 5,000 people of all ages. This highly popular community-wide event brings together prominent and emerging Jewish writers and non-Jewish writers on Jewish subject matter.

Pnina joins such authors as David Baddiel, Dara Horn and Gary Barwin at this year’s event.

Exhibition and Book Launch

Please allow me to draw your attention to the event below, that will be happening in conjunction with the Vancouver Jewish Writers Festival. It is a rather unusual event of a fusion between the visual and the literary arts. I hope this will be of interest to you.
Thank you,
Pnina Granirer

Photo of Pnina GranirerThis exhibition is a celebration of Pnina Granirer’s new memoir; it follows the written words, becoming
 a small retrospective with works featured in the book. Drawings, wood engravings and watercolours from her life in Jerusalem, Illinois, Montreal and Vancouver that have never been shown before, will give the viewer a deeper understanding of her beginnings as an artist. This unusual fusion of the visual and the literary arts will provide an intimate insight into the creative process of an artist’s personal journey of dislocation, immigration and the uprooted soul’s wish for permanency and belonging.

The evening begins at 6 pm. with an illustrated talk on the creative process of writing, with references to the art hanging on the walls, which are the reason for and the backbone of Light within the Shadows.
