The exhibition features works by the gallery’s Israeli artists, dealing with the notion of local identity and at the same time, alienation. These works all rest somewhere on the line between awareness and blind optimism, showcasing the ever-changing approaches towards the Israeli experience. Relating to the social, political, cultural and philosophical aspects of local identity, these artists reveal non-simplistic ideas in regards to fundamental issues every citizen deals with.
