Opening Event

Sunday 10.03.2024 (at 19:00)

The exhibition Threading explores the rich reservoir of cultural assets created by Jewish women, emphasizing textile arts as medium and as metaphor. The exhibit includes both upcycling fabrics with personal significance to create new artworks, as well as evoking traditional textile techniques, such as weaving and embroidery, deployed as visual motifs in other media including video, wood, metal, and paper. Notably, this will be the first Israeli exhibition to include work by video art pioneer Beryl Korot (USA). Works by seven contemporary artists are displayed in conversation with historical Judaica, made and donated by women, from the Museum of Italian Jewish Art’s collection.
