בריאת הכמיהה
בְּרֵאשִׁית נִבְרְאָה הַכְּמִיהָה לִנְשִׁיקוֹת הָאוֹר. בְּרוּכָה אַתְּ הָאִשָּׁה,
בּוֹרֵאת הַכְּמִיהָה. וְכָךְ מְסַפְּרוֹת אָנוּ, מִדּוֹר לְדוֹר: בַּשָּׁעָה הַחֲשׁוּכָה
בְּיוֹתֵר, הָיוּ הַלְּבָנָה וְהַחַמָּה שׁוֹלְחוֹת נְשִׁיקוֹת זוֹ לָזוֹ מִמֶּרְחַקֵּי
מַסְלוּלָן בָּרָקִיעַ. וַתֶּחֱזֶינָה בְּנוֹת חַוָּה וַתֹּאמַרְנָה: זוֹ הִיא תְּשׁוּקַת
הַמְּאוֹרוֹת. וַתַּעֲשֶׂינָה הַנָּשִׁים אֶת כָּל־כֻּלָּן, כְּלִי לַעֲלִיַּת הָאוֹר.
וַתֹּאמַרְנָה; בְּרוּכוֹת אָנוּ הַשּׁוֹטְפוֹת, בִּכְמִיהָתֵנוּ לִנְשִׁיקוֹת הָאוֹר,
אֶת הָאֲדָמָה וְאֶת הָרָקִיעַ. בְּרוּכוֹת אָנוּ, בּוֹרְאוֹת הַכְּמִיהָה.

Noy and Tamir
The artists Noy and Tamir have been living and creating together for a decade. Their works include large scale installations through which a restrictive reality is developed, which is based on personalisation of social and political phenomena in Israel.
Tomatoes | Victims
The name of the exhibition is taken from groundbreaking experiments from the laboratory of trauma and anxiety as implemented in the IDF, in which soldiers receive training before going into battle, with the aim of creating psychological defences enabling them to deal with upcoming traumatic situations.
Yael Bartana
The Recorder Player from Sheikh Jarrah
This artwork is exhibited here thanks to the generosity of the Annet Gelink Gallery in Amsterdam, and the Sommer Contemporary Art Gallery, Tel Aviv. For more details: https://yaelbartana.com/
Alina Yakirevitch and N.E.S.A
Artist, producer and educator. Graduate of ‘Hamidrasha’ and an MA from Hunter College, New York.
untitled
This work was made in collaboration with N.E.S.A. (pen name), a friend who the artist met through Black and Pink: a queer anarchist organisation dedicated to ending the carceral punishment system and to freeing LGBT prisoners and prisoners living with HIV/AIDS. Under the cover of the law we create a situation in which they are invisible, and often forgotten.
Inbal Eshel Cahansky
A woman who is a lion. Poet, poetry editor, multi-disciplinary plastic artist, and a photographer in the making.
Riki Stollar
Lives in The Hague, Holland. MA student at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, in the Master Artistic Research programme. BA graduate in Art and Education from Kibbutzim College (2020). Creates installations, drawings and video art in which she examines symbols and social structures. Stollar exhibited in group exhibitions, amongst them in the NEST Gallery in The Hague, Binyamin Gallery in Tel Aviv and The White House in Kibbutz Nir Oz.
FOLDS
This work touches on what has been pushed aside or shrunk in Zionist education. Fire writing is mosly used in Israeli youth movement ceremonies as a mechanism of communicating messages to a wide audience. It focuses the attention of the group and raises questions about the place of the individual within the group. This is the stage of the ceremony in which the crowd focuses its gaze on the heroic and violent fire, whilst the self is asked to adapt itself for the good of the idea of the collective.
Ariane Littman
Born in Switzerland, a multidisciplinary artist and photojournalist living in Israel since 1981 and working mostly from her studio in Jerusalem. Littman is a lecturer at the Hadassa Academic College and holds an MFA from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and an MA in Art and Aesthetics from the Hebrew University, Jerusalem.
Wounded land
In her work Littman undertakes acts of erasure, removal, emphasis and reassembling, in order to bring to light those narratives which hide between the layers. The work “Wounded land” began during the Coronavirus pandemic, and came from the general sense of emergency. Based on maps that were published throughout the period following news events (for example, the protest map of the ‘Black Flags’ movement), the artist creates a kind of remapping of reality as it took place in those frenzied months.
Yael Fine
Queer-feminist artist. Originally from Kibbutz Deganya, living in Florence. Founder of “Nile” - a platform for women’s art.
Yonatan Ron
Artist and printer, graduate of the Bezalel MA programme and graduate with distinction from the Bezalel art department. Winner of the Young Artist Prize from the Hecht Museum, Haifa, and of the 2022 Shoshana Ish-Shalom Prize for Artistic Work. Previously was part of the artist community in the Teddy New Gallery, and today is a lecturer in the Bezalel art department for BA students.
Shadows of archaeology
This work presents a source which is experienced via the filter of a phone camera. That is to say - the biased and structural blindness of the museum experience as it should be experienced - in a physical way in the place itself, without the mediation or manipulation of some lens or another.
Ronit Dovrat
Ronit Dovrat (1955-2011) was an Israeli artist, graduate of Hamidrasha art college, and a political activist against the Israeli occupation and for the liberation of Palestine. Dovrat was one of the founders of the independent gallery ‘Ehad Ha’am 90’ in Tel Aviv. WALL / EVENT
One of Dovrat’s most important and well-known works; a concrete wall that is cut through by a swing - a critique of the separation wall in the West Bank and against every ‘separating wall’.
Thoth Hermes Satori
Poet, editor, artist and psychotherapist, who works on natural healing and treatment. Grew up on the moshav She’ar Yashuv and today lives in Haifa. Winner of the Levi Eshkol Literary Prize (Prime Minister's Prize for Hebrew Literary Works) and grants from the Rabinovich Foundation for the Arts.
Gil Yefman
Israeli multi-disciplinary artist, who combines different media: drawing, video, installations, crochet and prints, in order to explore the latent potential of the irregular, and whilst dealing with topics that are considered taboo in Israeli society, such as the Holocaust, pornography and death. Yefman is a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design and the Alma College for Hebrew Culture.
Hedgerow
This work originates in the order of Rudolf Franz Höss, the commandant of Auschwitz extermination camp, to the head of the S.S. agricultural branch, to order shrubs, plants and trees that would be used as natural camouflage for the crematoriums. The work was made in collaboration with Kuchinate Collective (a collective of African refugee women who crochet for their livelihood in South Tel Aviv) who facilitated a crochet circle of 265 volunteers.
Daniella Meroz
Video artist, holds a MFA in Animation from the Department for Screen-Based Arts from Bezalel and an MA in Arts from Bezalel. Her films have been screened in exhibitions and festivals in Israel and around the world.
Victory of the rising sun
A critical and humoristic tribute to the fascist aesthetic, which shows us that fascism and blindness are one: in an athletics stadium, Olympic athletes are caged inside grotesque and geometric outfits in what looks like Olympic games that have gone wrong.
Guy Bernard Reichmann
Born in 1983 in Petah Tikvah. Holds an MA in Art from Bezalel Academy for Art and Design (2018).
Dishabituation: Do you know where your kids are?
This work is based on tabletop role-playing games such as “Catan” or “WARHAMMER”. The game takes place through the horrors of the occupation, whose rules are unwritten, and where the identity of the children players is unknown.
Danielle Alhassid
Multi-disciplinary artist who combines animation, installation and performance, and lives between Brooklyn and Tel Aviv. Focuses on the intersection of memory, identity, immigration, and the urban experience. Art MA student in Hunter College, New York.
A stone from a wall
The expression “a stone from a wall will cry out” speaks of injustice which cries out to the heavens. In this work, the viewer meets an observing eye from within a stone, blinking from between the cracks of the marked stones. Alhassid bases this work on Eyal Weizman’s book Hollow Land, which amongst other things explores the use of Jerusalem stone cladding as a tool for erasure and appropriation of territory.
Sound: Ido Alhassid
