Etai Rogers-Fett (he/him) is a printmaker, judaica artist, and arts educator living on Piscataway land in Maryland. In his printmaking practice, Etai draws inspiration from Jewish craft traditions of papercutting, manuscript illumination, and calligraphy to create compositions that blend decorative and narrative imagery and explore the expressive potential of Hebrew and Yiddish typography. Etai plays with the genres of Jewish book arts in order to tell the stories of gender expansive identities
often deliberately obscured from this historical body of work - weaving together archival research, folktales, and speculative imagining to trace vibrant trans and queer Jewish lineages. Etai is currently working on a project about the memories of Jewish letters as imagined by ten artist collaborators from the Jewish diaspora.
