Eternal Spring

A selection from the tapestry collection created at the Mambush Tapestry Workshop, which operated in Ein Hod from 1966 to 1985.

The Mambush tapestry collection is on display after many years of being hidden from view, alongside historical items from the weaving workshop. The exhibition reexamines a brief but important historical chapter in Israeli

Fatima Abu Roomi

Fatima Abu Roomi’s works portray the complexity of her life as a Palestinian woman in Israel, and are expressive of both resistance and belonging.

It features works by 23 artists active in this field from the 1940s to the present day.

Be’eri Plant Bed

The stories of families from Kibbutz Be’eri through plants left behind in the aftermath of October 7, 2023 On our first visit to Be’eri, one month after the massacre, we walked through the remains of the houses. Silence filled the air, and all we could hear were the sounds of our footsteps on the burned ridges. Amid the ashes, the only splashes of color came from the plants, still alive. Some stood as solitary survivors,

Lali Fruheling

The Home series consists of short, looped video clips—like GIFs that endlessly undermine little moments of drama. The series began with clips that I initially created in simple mobile apps, based on images taken from the Internet.

Irit Hemmo

The objects of her observation are works in the style of Socialist Realism—outdoor sculptures,

She adds tributes to subcultures, such as heavy-metal music,
