Seder Plate by Hank Willis Thomas for HaYom

This seder plate by Hank Willis Thomas and produced by HaYom is centered around a teaching attributed to the Talmud stating that 'the highest form of wisdom is kindness’. A Seder plate is used for the Seder dinners at the beginning of Passover. It traditionally holds six symbolic foods, each of which symbolizes a part of the Passover story, which commemorates the Exodus and the Jews’ freedom from slavery in Egypt. Here, the shiny gold lines divide the plate into six sections for the six ritual foods. Hank Willis Thomas is a leading voice in contemporary art.

HaYom is the curatorial team of Marie Salome and Marc Azoulay. Together they work with contemporary artists to rethink Jewish ritual objects in order to offer an opportunity to rediscover traditions while both looking toward and investing the future.

Produced in a limited edition of 50 plates in the United Kingdom.
