Voices / A Tour Between Two Exhibitions with a Distinctly Feminine Voice

Artists from different generations and from different places around the world, working in different techniques, are currently presented side by side at the Museum. This tour invites a journey through space, medium, and time, and will address the special project Judy Chicago: What If Women Ruled the World? and the exhibition Observation / The Field Observers of the Gaza Sector: A Video Installation.

Both exhibitions carve out a new space for women’s voices that were silenced for generations, and place them within the political, social, and artistic contexts to which women are rightfully entitled.

In Judy Chicago: What If Women Ruled the World? a broad feminist vision unfolds, exploring possibilities of justice, compassion, and equality from a female perspective. Chicago’s work offers an alternative to familiar world orders and provokes thought about questions of power, creativity, and identity.

The exhibition Observation / The Field Observers of the Gaza Sector: A Video Installation, the first museum display by the acclaimed director, exposes the complex story of the female lookouts on the Gaza border—young women bearing enormous responsibility, living in constant tension between observation and action. Lavie, known for sharp, personal, and critical cinema, brings their story into the Museum space.

The tour between these two different perspectives—Chicago’s articulation of a broad international feminist vision, and Lavie’s focus on the concrete, contemporary Israeli experience—allows us to re-examine the female voice that was erased for centuries: not merely an object of observation, but one with genuine power to create, to question, and to change reality.
