Ha'layla

2022-2025

Part of the group exhibition "Chutzpah - Spirit. Recollection. Self. at The Jewish Museum of Australia, Melbourne.

Curated by Alana Kushner.

 

The gallery space is transformed into a

Jerusalemite-Sepheradic “Hafla” (traditional

celebration and gathering). The drawings are based

on stills from family video footage, while a sound

piece is playing in the space. The latter was created

from recordings done between the 1950’s - 2000’s,

taken from my familial archive; as well as

contemporary recordings of professional musicians

and different family members done especially for the

occasion.

Recorded and produced by Ophir Binjamin (Benja)
