Description

This trailblazing exhibition includes 47 cutting-edge works on sexual violation by 30 American, Israeli, and other artists. They include Rostan Agala, Ofri Akavia, Judy Chicago, Ayana Friedman, Regina José Galindo, Nechama Golan, Mitch Lewis, Shosh Kormosh, Judith Weinshall Liberman, Ella Liebermann-Shiber, Boris Lurie, Haim Maor, Naomi Markel, Anat Massad, Mary Mihelic, Dvora Morag, Nezhnie (Muriel Helfman), Halina Olomucki, Zeev Porath (Wilhelm Ochs), Rachel Roggel, Manasse Shingiro, Hana Shir, Li Shir, Nancy Spero, Linda Stein, Yocheved Weinfeld, Gil Yefman, Racheli Yosef, Safet Zec, and Dvora Zelichov

The exhibition includes Judy Chicago and Donald Woodman’s Double Jeopardy (half-scale) from their Holocaust Project: From Darkness into Light, as well as two works each by Holocaust survivor artist Boris Lurie and feminist artist Nancy Spero. Joining these internationally known names, there are artists from Israel, the United States, and other countries, including victims, their close relatives, witnesses, and concerned others. All of these important artworks on sexual violence during the Holocaust and later genocides are the artists’ poignant reactions to what women suffered. The representations about later genocides and ethnic cleansings in Bosnia, Darfur, Eritrea, Guatemala, Iraq, Nigeria, and Rwanda echo the horrors that some women experienced during the Holocaust.
