On Thursday, August 22, 2024, the graduates exhibition of Shenkar's School of Multidisciplinary Art will open. 25 graduates will present works in various media, including video art, photography, oil painting on canvas, performance, illustration, sculpture and more. Curated by Prof. Gal Weinstein, Dr. Hanna Freund-Shertok, and Dr. Shahar Freddy Kislev.
This year's themes touch on current events and other topics that the students experience, such as identity, body-mind, society and community, sports, femininity and more, because when the winds are turbulent, the students are not indifferent to the situation, which affects their work.
For example, Matan Greenbaum will present long-exposure photographic works that deal with the term "time" and show photographs of people simulating the abductees in Gaza as he discusses the passage of time. As well as Tom Bourne in his installation and drawing work called "War Memory", he creates using violent acts of amputation, handcuffing, shooting and stabbing, and through personal wounding war, the unconventional materials he uses. Alongside works that deal with other topics, such as Noy Hezekiah's installation "Mermaid's Daughter" which deals with sexuality. The installation features 2,000 vulas (female genitalia) cut, sewn and filled by Hezekiah over the past few months. Or the work of Raphael Cohen, who presents a video work and a book called "ZBM", the new Israeli, and examines Israeli, Zionist, kibbutz masculinity in video art and a book containing a collection of photographs of underwear that Cohen found in various springs around the Israel.
