Three new art pieces join ANU's 'October 7' exhibit as Israel marks third anniversary of massacre
Additionally displayed in the exhibit are the documentary work “Local Testimony for 2023” and a musical playlist consisting of Israeli songs that have become part of the war’s soundtrack.
The ANU Museum of the Jewish People has expanded its "October 7" exhibit to include three new artworks created by graduates of the WIZO Haifa School of Design. This addition comes as Israel commemorates the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023, massacre. The exhibit, curated by Michal Hominer and Carmit Blumenzon, features over 25 artists and aims to document the events surrounding the massacre as well as the ways in which Israel coped with the loss.
One of the new works, Tamara Kloss's "Compassion Fatigue," reflects on the thousands of commemorative stickers created for the hostages and fallen soldiers since the war began. Another piece, Yael Lerner's "I Saw a Dove," is a book exploring the varied emotional responses to the dove symbol. Yehuda Feldmer's "Shalom" offers a visual interpretation of the word "peace."
Dr. Orit Shaham Gober, the museum's chief curator, emphasized that the exhibition evolves alongside society. The new works allow for additional voices to be heard and provide insight into how memory, both personal and collective, is formed, shapes national mindset, and contributes to a better future. The pieces within the exhibit range from expressions of pain to a search for hope and movement forward.
