Have you ever seen Sephardic Jews represented in mainstream media? Have you ever heard the Ladino language spoken on popular television? Now you can: Set in 1950s Istanbul, Netflix’s new hit series «Kulüp» (The Club) depicts interactions between Sephardic Jews and their neighbors for the first time.
Join the Sephardic Studies Program in the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies for a discussion on the historical context and contemporary political significance of «Kulüp.»

A recorded interview with “Kulüp” writer Rana Denizer conducted by Melike Yücel-Koç (UW) will also be screened at the event.
