"Israeli society is known to be cutting-edge, direct, opinionated and unapologetic, due to its constant evolution and multicultural nature. Inner conflicts and tensions between western and middle eastern inspirations shape its cultural arenas, whether in music, cuisine, fashion and the visual arts. This lecture will focus on artists from under-recognized communities, and their ways to protest and advocate for inclusion, resurfacing forgotten histories, and efforts to diversify the structures of art-historical narratives and institutions. We will also discuss the involvement of artists in the protest movements before and after October 7th, whether through their art practice and/or political activity."
