For the past three years since the Disengagement from the Gaza Strip, both Ariane Littman-Cohen and Reuven Zahavi have been creating and exhibiting together collaborative projects that takes as a starting point the political Israeli reality.

While discussing the development of their collaborative work, they will present to the public pictures, video clips and media works created together and separately.

The artists, both working in Jerusalem, will relate to the intersection between the aesthetic and the politic in their art, to the way they gather their material, to the meaning of digital media work and to aspects of their collaborative working process.

Trabelsi Productions presents
a film by Rachel Leah Jones

Ashkenazim (Jews of European origin) are Israel’s “white folks.” And like most white folks in a multicultural society, they see themselves as the social norm and don’t think of themselves in racial or ethnic terms because by now, “aren’t we all Israeli?” After all, Yiddish has been replaced with Hebrew, exile with occupation, the shtetl with the settlement, and old-fashioned irony with post-modern cynicism. But the paradox of whiteness in Israel is that Ashkenazim aren’t exactly “white folks” historically. A story that begins in the Rhineland and ends in the holy land (or is it the other way around?), Ashkenaz looks at whiteness in Israel and wonders: How did the “Others” of Europe become the “Europe” of the others?
