  "account": "The Jerusalem Biennale 2026, the seventh edition since its inception in 2013, is dedicated to the theme \"De Profundis,\" or \"Out of the Depths,\" following the October 7, 2023 atrocities. The exhibition, featuring over 250 Israeli and international artists, spans 42 exhibitions across 21 venues in Jerusalem. Founder Ram Ozeri views art as a form of prayer and healing, allowing collective subconscious to surface. The theme has sparked optimism and dialogue among different communities, celebrating Jewishness rather than hiding it. Despite some artists' initial concerns, the Biennale has become a platform for pushing back against cultural boycotts. The Jerusalem Biennale's main venue, the former National Library at the Hebrew University's Givat Ram campus, with its monumental stained-glass windows by Mordecai Ardon, provides a poignant backdrop for the artworks.",
  "summary": "This is the seventh Jerusalem Biennale since it was founded in 2013, and like its predecessors, it's dedicated to a theme, but individual artists have been literally creative in their interpretations",
