It seeks to offer healing and nourishment to the soul through attentive listening to the voice and working with it\, while simultaneously collecting its fragments as they emerge\, in order to preserve time and place through their most intimate expressions. The archive was born as a response to\, and a way of coping with\, the events of October 7\, and it will continue to gather voices from other times and places. \nBetween December 2023 and October 2025\, artist Meital Kovo traveled across the country\, inviting people from various circles of trauma and coping in relation to October 7 to encounter what lives within them through the voice\, and to preserve this meaningful encounter through recording. The voices in the online archive were recorded as part of participatory art actions and were donated anonymously by the people who took part – women and men\, girls and boys\, from Shlomi to Ofakim\, from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv. \nOn February 6\, 2026\, the archive website will be launched at Mamuta Art and Research Center\, located in Hansen House\, Jerusalem. As part of the event\, Kovo will guide a community drift through the archive. The audience will be invited to recline on low sofas and cushions in a dark\, acoustically treated space\, and to embark on a shared journey into the spaces behind the eyes and between the ears—to wander through the archive\, listen to some of the voices preserved within it\, and hear the stories behind the participatory art actions in which they were recorded. Following the guided drift through the website\, those who wish will be able to take part in a new participatory art action: Journey Remnants. \n\n \n \n \n \n צילום: אור מאי\n \n \n \n \n \n צילום: אור מאי\n \n \n \n \n \n צילום: איליה\n \n \n \n \n \n צילום: איליה\n \n \n \n \n \n צילום: אור אלוני\n \n \n \n \n \n צילום: אור אלוני URL:https://mamuta.org/event/community-drift-through-the-archive-of-the-soul-launch-event/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mamuta.org/wpress/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Untitled-design-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20260130T113000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20260130T170000 DTSTAMP:20260123T093857Z CREATED:20260123T091800Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260123T093857Z UID:14345-1769772600-1769792400@mamuta.org SUMMARY:Gallery Tour at That Perhaps You Saved a Rose DESCRIPTION:Join us at a Gallery tour of our new group exhibition – That Perhaps You Saved a Rose. \nEntrance is free!

The performance concludes the collaborative process between Weiser and Ben Simon\, in which they explored archival recordings of queer love songs recorded in Egypt in the 1930s\, taken from the archive of Brigitta Schiffer. The songs were documented and preserved as work songs performed during date-harvesting; their lyrics express themes such as migration\, love\, longing\, and economic struggle.The performance will include a contemporary rendition of the vocal gestures found in the archive\, and a shared resonance of the “resounding voice” — the call of the beloved that is absent from the archive. \nAs part of the exhibition Resounding Voice by Netta Weiser at Mamuta\, a collaboration between The Mamuta Art and Research Center and the Goethe-Institut Israel. \n\n \n \n \n \n צילום: אור אלוני\n \n \n \n \n \n צילום: אור אלוני\n \n \n \n \n \n צילום: אור אלוני URL:https://mamuta.org/event/resounding-voice-date-songs/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mamuta.org/wpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/chanan-image_Maya-Baran-min-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20251221T180000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20251221T190000 DTSTAMP:20251224T143508Z CREATED:20251202T114533Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251224T143508Z UID:13934-1766340000-1766343600@mamuta.org SUMMARY:Radio-Choreography: It’s Not What It Sounds Like DESCRIPTION:Event was postponed to a later date. More updates soon. \nAt the live radio event\, we will broadcast songs that have been passed down through generations of women as a means of conveying subversive messages – songs of love\, pain\, and protest. The program will host Yusra Abu Kaf\, an artist and filmmaker from the village of Umm Batin. Abu Kaf’s work explores Bedouin women’s singing practices\, which convey messages of resistance to violence against women under the guise of love songs and dance movements. In addition\, we will listen to blessing songs carrying political messages in Judeo-Arabic\, recorded in Morocco by Dr. Vanessa Paloma Elbaz of the University of Cambridge\, taken from Netta Weiser’s exhibition\, along with additional materials.\nThe event takes place at the Mamuta sound studio (Gedalyahu Alon 14\, Jerusalem) and will be broadcast live on “Radio Musrara” \nListen on: https://www.radiomusrara.com \nImage: Yusra Abu Kaf URL:https://mamuta.org/event/radio-choreography-its-not-what-it-sounds-like/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://mamuta.org/wpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/by-Yusra-Abu-Kaf-min.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20251212T113000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20251212T123000 DTSTAMP:20251203T143545Z CREATED:20251202T122945Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251203T143545Z UID:13948-1765539000-1765542600@mamuta.org SUMMARY:Gallery Tour at Resounding Voice DESCRIPTION:Join us for a gallery tour at Netta Weiser’s solo show Resounding Voice. \nFree Entrance. \nOn Dec. 13th (Saturday) Mamuta Center will be open between 12:00-14:00 URL:https://mamuta.org/event/gallery-tour-at-resounding-voice-2/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mamuta.org/wpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/DSF9714-min-2-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20251128T113000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20251128T123000 DTSTAMP:20251125T142903Z CREATED:20251125T140946Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251125T142903Z UID:13912-1764329400-1764333000@mamuta.org SUMMARY:Gallery Tour at Resounding Voice DESCRIPTION:Join us for a gallery tour at Netta Weiser’s solo show Resounding Voice. \nFree Entrance.

The central work\, Hugs 2025\, is a recreation of her first video piece\, Hugs (1999)\, a performance piece filmed on the streets of Jerusalem with the aim of collecting hugs from strangers. The entire exhibition gestures at the changes that have taken place over the past 25 years—from technological developments to shifts in values and ethics—and examines the demographic and political transformations in Israeli society and in Jerusalem over the past quarter century. \nThe exhibition also features three earlier video works: \nHugs (1999)\, the original video work\, 9:00 minutes (silent). \nHugs #2 (2017)\, a 1:30-minute video documenting a kindergarten teacher at a birthday party inviting children to kiss and hug the birthday boy—who happens to be the artist’s son. The video raises questions about education\, power\, and vulnerability—of both the child being filmed and the artist\, who\, as a parent\, documents a ritualistic event in the kindergarten setting. \nTherms and Conditions (2022)\, 1:32 minutes\, created in collaboration with Maayan Amir. This video was filmed through the thermal scope of a weapon (Infrared Thermography)\, in an attempt to document human heat traces generated by rubbing strangers’ hands on the bodies of the artists during a cold winter night in 2022\, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The work addresses the tension between the desire for human closeness and the distancing\, dehumanizing gaze of a weapon’s scope\, which blurs the identities of its filmed subjects. \nRuti Sela\, born December 1974 in Jerusalem\, is an artist living and working in Tel Aviv. Her work lies at the intersection of cinema\, performance\, and video art. Sela documents and investigates different systems of power relations\, often in the context of law\, politics\, and sexuality. Her work has been exhibited at numerous exhibitions and festivals in Israel and internationally\, including: the Tel Aviv Museum of Art\, Bat Yam Museum\, The Center for Digital Art in Holon\, the Istanbul Biennial\, Berlin Biennale\, Sydney Biennale\, Manifesta\, and institutions such as the Jeu de Paume and Centre Pompidou in Paris\, ZKM Museum in Germany\, MUMOK in Vienna\, Tate Modern in London\, and the Stedelijk Bureau in Amsterdam. \nShe has received several awards\, including the Anselm Kiefer Prize from the Wolf Foundation\, the Young Artist Award\, the Encouragement of Creativity Award\, and the Senior Video Artist Award from the Israeli Ministry of Culture. \n\n \n \n \n \n צילום: דניאל חנוך\n \n \n \n \n \n צילום: דניאל חנוך\n \n \n \n \n \n צילום: דניאל חנוך\n \n \n \n \n \n צילום: דניאל חנוך\n \n \n \n \n \n צילום: דניאל חנוך\n \n \n \n \n \n צילום: דניאל חנוך URL:https://mamuta.org/event/exhibition-opening-hugs/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mamuta.org/wpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Hugs-2025-13-scaled.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20250717T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20250726T170000 DTSTAMP:20260520T122217Z CREATED:20250731T093949Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260520T122217Z UID:13127-1752739200-1753549200@mamuta.org SUMMARY:Intersections at JFF 2025 DESCRIPTION:For the second year in a row\, the festival takes place during a time of war. Wars. Hostages remain in Gaza\, destruction continues there and here\, lives are being lost. The pain surrounding us cannot\, and should not\, be ignored. In such times\, some confront reality at hand\, while others turn to imagination\, envisioning worlds far removed from the culture of violence and offering glimpses of a different future. \nThis year’s Intersections Program navigates both paths. \nThe Experimental Cinema and Video Art Competition  \nThe Experimental Cinema and Video Art Awards features seven artists with new works that engage with the present moment through varied\, poignant\, and poetic forms. \nOrientations – Daniel Kiczales | High Alert – Hadar Saifan | Carousel – Guy Hamiel | Escape Will Get You Tonight – Noa Simhayof Shahaf | A Word Required – Lyri Milo | Spirits of War – Moti Brecher | Child – Yaron Attar \nRuti Sela\, HUGS 2025 \nIn her new exhibition at the Mamuta Center\, artist Ruti Sela presents four works exploring the body\, interpersonal connection\, and technology. The central piece\, Hugs 2025\, is a reimagining of her first video work\, Hugs—a performance piece filmed on the streets of Jerusalem in 1999\, in which Sela sought out hugs from strangers. \nShooting Booth \nThree Films by Ruti Sela followed by Conversation between the Artist and Roee Rosen.\nPresented alongside Sela’s solo exhibition at the Mamuta Art Research Center. \nNathaniel Dorsky \nNathaniel Dorsky\, born in 1943\, continues to make films to this day. He is an experimental filmmaker whose work focuses on light\, movement\, and color. His films are non-narrative\, and this program offers Israeli audiences an encounter with a cinematic world entirely different from the familiar\, even within the realm of experimental film. \nTribute to Experimental Filmmaker Benjamin Hayeem \nBenjamin Hayeem (1933-2004) was an Israeli-American experimental filmmaker\, director\, writer\, and editor who created experimental films\, fiction features\, including the controversial The Black Banana (1976)\, documentaries\, and educational films. Born in Bombay\, India\, he was part of avant-garde filmmaker Maya Deren’s circle. Influenced by the montage principles of director Slavko Vorkapić\, he applied them extensively in his work. He was a member of the Living Theatre and part of New York’s bohemian art scene. \nNARCISA HIRSCH – A Famously Unknown Filmmaker \nExperimental filmmaker Narcisa Hirsch (1928 – 2024) was born in Berlin and moved to Argentina before WW2. Hirsch organized art happenings during the late 1960s. She turned to experimental film and video\, becoming one of the most celebrated yet not broadly known South American experimental filmmakers. Her work was shown worldwide in museums and festivals. \nAdditional information on JFF website URL:https://mamuta.org/event/intersections-at-jff-2025/ LOCATION:Jerusalem Cinematheque\, 11 Hebron Road\, Jerusalem CATEGORIES:Experimental Cinema ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mamuta.org/wpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/אמנות-בצומת-לעירייה-קטן-Maya-deren-and-Alexander-Hammid-Mesahes-of-the-Agternoon-1943.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20250613T110000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20250613T120000 DTSTAMP:20250729T130234Z CREATED:20250418T080324Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250729T130234Z UID:12482-1749812400-1749816000@mamuta.org SUMMARY:Gallery Tour with the Artist Talia Tokatly DESCRIPTION: URL:https://mamuta.org/event/gallery-tour-with-the-artist-talia-tokatly-2/ LOCATION:Mamuta Art and Media Center\, Hansen House\, Gedaliahu Alon 14\, Jerusalem\, Israel CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mamuta.org/wpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-17-at-16.19.29.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20250530T110000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20250530T120000 DTSTAMP:20250717T091549Z CREATED:20250418T080150Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250717T091549Z UID:12478-1748602800-1748606400@mamuta.org SUMMARY:Gallery Tour with the Artist Talia Tokatly DESCRIPTION: URL:https://mamuta.org/event/gallery-tour-with-the-artist-talia-tokatly/ LOCATION:Mamuta Art and Media Center\, Hansen House\, Gedaliahu Alon 14\, Jerusalem\, Israel ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mamuta.org/wpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-18-at-15.14.39.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20250516T110000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20250516T120000 DTSTAMP:20251126T104343Z CREATED:20250418T075720Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251126T104343Z UID:12473-1747393200-1747396800@mamuta.org SUMMARY:Gallery talk at "Blood Butterfly Formation" DESCRIPTION:Talia Tokatly in conversation with the curator Dveer Shaked. \nFree Entrance!

The idea of establishing a “Sukkot Colony” on Lupine Hill resulted from the desire to realize the plan drawn up by Arch. Ilana Tzuriel\, a fictional character in Govrin’s book. Tzuriel planned to establish a temporary monument to peace on the hill and a study of the laws of shmitta (the seventh year when the Land was to lie fallow)\, which was to be a space of encounter between Jews and Palestinians\, between people and nations of different backgrounds to propose a different perception of land\, locale\, and concepts of ownership and transience as a possible alternative for a different kind of existence. However\, the Gulf War put a stop to all of Tzuriel’s plans. \nTwenty years after Govrin published her book\, the Sala-Manca Group collaborated with the author and the Mitzpetel community to expand\, update\, and realize Tzuriel’s architectural design on the last day of the Sukkot festival. On the eve of Hoshana Rabbah\, participants erected the Moshavat Sukkot monument to peace dreamed up by Tzuriel. The colony was comprised of a replica of the Deller Sukkah (a work of art that became a kosher sukkah at this event)\, the Kingston Sukkah\, and the Mitzpetel Sukkah. Guided tours\, workshops\, and group sessions at the Moshavat Sukkot facilitated a discussion of timely issues\, renewing the discourse on the concept of peace\, and aroused thoughts on locale\, permanence\, preservation\, and transience. On October 5\, 2023\, installation day\, there were tours of the Hill\, an artists’ meeting\, and a writing workshop. Several of the artists slept in the sukkah overnight\, and on the morning of October 6th\, the temporary monument to peace was dismantled\, twenty-four hours before… \nThe current exhibition documents the Moshavat Sukkot events while continuing it in an expanded version. One of the sukkot that originally stood in the 2023 Moshava – the Kingston Sukkah by Sala-Manca with paintings by Brian Hoad was installed “inside-out” in 2024 with the painting on the inside walls now exhibited as external walls. The former external walls were now covered with a new painting by Meydad Eliyahu depicting the Moshavat Sukkot of 2023 from the process of mounting\, installation\, and dismantling of the “colony.” The sukkot appearing in the painting that were not painted by Eliyahu were peeled off the Kingston Sukkah and made from its wood. The wood revealed in the new painting emphasizes what is absent.  \nIn two other rooms\, Ilana Tzuriel’s architectural office has been restored. Exhibited in the room are the designs and ideas that led her to design the Moshevet Sukkot. In another room of the “studio” are photographs by Yom Omer documenting the event as well as models of the Sukkot booths. \nRoom 4 is a reference room comprising a visual and textual archive by Michal Tal\, graduate of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Departments of Folklore and of Anthropology. Tal compiled the archive as part of the seminar on “Temporary Structures of Knowledge: The Sukkah as Performance.” in the Theatre Studies Department. The archive is devoted to the documentation of sukkot booths and their significance in 2023-2024. Sukkot booths forgotten and left behind after the massacre of October 7th were transformed from a temporary dwelling to a performative expression of collective transience in the continuing reality of the past year. \nTechnical direction and mounting: Eitan Haviv | Assistant Curator and Producer: Naama Mokady | Production Assistant and Manager\, Exhibition Spaces: Gil Godinger | Text editor: Ronit Rosenthal | Arabic translation: Anwar Ben Badis | Graphic design: Maya Shleifer  \nThanks to support from the Mifal HaPais Council for the Culture and Arts and the Jerusalem Municipality Culture Administration.
