Jerusalem Biennale

A two-day conference, titled “Watershed: Boundaries and Spaces in Contemporary Jewish Art,” was held in cooperation with the Van Leer Jerusalem Research Institute and the Inspire Education Program launched for the first time.

Five hundred high school students from Israel’s geographical and social periphery visited the Biennale as part of this program.

Sixty-one events took place in gallery spaces, including live music, dance and theater, discussion panels, poetry readings and workshops.

The title of the edition was For Heaven’s Sake!, originating from a well known Hebrew phrase Leshem Shamayim, and representing opposing viewpoints that are at the heart of Jewish discourse, debate and argument.

All three had an in-person and online presence, according to the hybrid model.In Between The Jerusalem Biennale produces art exhibitions and events all year long.
