What Does Shock Look Like — Israeli Art After October 7th with Shirel Horovitz

All areas of life in Israel were shaken on October 7, and the aftermath of this shock, as well as the continuing war, have deeply affected the art scene too. In this session, the Community Scholar Program will briefly look at art from 2023 before October and then dive into the images that were and still are created since. What can art tell us about the current reality that we don’t necessarily see in the news? They’ll explore art responses, exhibitions, and artworks that are both praised and challenged to allow a different look at what we’re experiencing these days and further understand the emotional climate in Israel in the past months.
