REGMOS | JEWORLD
Countering Antisemitism through Universal Knowledge
THE VISION
Jeworld is an international initiative by REGMOS dedicated to documenting the vast diversity of the Jewish world. We believe that prejudice thrives in the gaps left by ignorance. Our mission is to fill those gaps by mapping Jewish heritage from its most ancient roots to its most remote contemporary outposts. Through high-end photography and rigorous research, we transform the “unknown” into a shared universal heritage.

STRATEGIC GOALS
1. Educational Impact: Providing schools and universities with authentic, high-quality visual records.
2. Cultural Diplomacy: Building bridges through institutional partnerships (Museums, Foundations, Academic Bodies).
3. Visual Archive: Creating a definitive high-end publication that records the “unseen” Jewish world.
PROJECT OUTPUTS: FROM PHYSICAL TO DIGITAL
1. The Exhibition: “Beyond the fragments”
• Concept: A high-end touring exhibition featuring a curated selection of the most powerful visual narratives from each Segment.
• Format: Large-scale professional prints accompanied by essential, evocative explanatory panels.
• Goal: To create an immediate emotional and intellectual impact, using the “power of the image” to break down barriers and spark curiosity in the general public and institutional visitors alike.
2. The Digital Atlas: The Interactive Hub
• Concept: The definitive, large-scale digital container of the Jeworld project.
• Format: An interactive, map-based platform where users can explore the full extent of the research.
• Goal: To serve as a deep-dive resource for scholars, students, and the curious. It will house the complete visual archive, detailed historical data, and multimedia content that goes beyond the physical space of the exhibition.
