The Incubator for Artists

The works in the exhibition record male figures who have struggled for decades with an unabated will to adjust to a new place. Ribka chose to document them here, understanding that they have built a place that allows them to work at something they are good at, a place where they are able to create something new and reap the fruits of their success.

Rachel Anyo creates a new visual image of a feminist Ethiopian woman. She recruited 13 differently-aged women of Ethiopian origin for the project, and together they explored their culture by working in the collage technique. Based on a database of images prepared by Anyo from her family albums, the participants created collages under the guidance of the artist, who deconstructed and reconstructed them into new collages all her own.

Equipped with white overalls, compassion and courage, Liron Hana Ohayon and Amit Gavish lead an interdisciplinary artistic act in the streets of Haifa. They gathered six women who recently moved to Haifa for a joint creative process, which included a confession and a statement of identity aimed at pushing the boundaries of involvement in the space. The six video works on view are elaborations of six acts of female healing, whose gist is coping together with personal passions and fears.
