Lecture with Shirel Horovitz: “Israeli Art Under Quarantine”

An intimate and inspirational journey into the Israeli art scene in search of expression under new circumstances.Like most of the world, the Israeli artists and institutions were under quarantine from mid-March and are only now starting to emerge into slightly less constricted interactions and movements. Creativity during this time was overflowing with a search of new ways of expression and a deep look at the intersections between creativity, daily life and the professional art scene.
In this talk we’ll explore these questions through specific works, platforms and conversations that were created during the last couple of months.
Length: 60 min – 45 min talk and 15 min for questions
