STILL IN TRANSLATION | GROUP EXHIBITION

Still in Translation brings together nine artists living and working in Israel whose practices engage with questions of identity, cultural hybridity, and migration. Moving between geographies, visual languages, and personal journeys, the exhibition approaches identity not as a fixed origin but as an ongoing process — continuously shaped through memory, movement, and adaptation.

The works present fragmented figures, erasure, and layered compositions that reflect a notion of identity in transition. Forms appear partially dismantled and reassembled, suggesting a condition of constant translation in which absence and reconstruction coexist.

For some, diasporic identity emerges as a simultaneous state of separation and accumulation. Organic elements such as flowers, stones, and foliage form an architecture of memory, evoking what is carried across borders — language, rituals, sensibilities, and sensory traces.

Within this shifting landscape, the idea of home becomes less geographic and more internal — a lasting presence that travels with the individual.

For others, repeated marks and motives inspired by graffiti transform the canvas into a space where identity is expressed and reshaped. Identity appears not as something fixed, but as something continually rewritten.

The exhibition also reflects on belonging through a more universal lens. Recurring sphere-like forms evoke shapes shared across cultures, suggesting that the sense of home may extend beyond specific places or relationships. Home may be a person, a city, or ultimately the earth itself. Each sphere rolls through existence, reminding us that the only constant may be change, and that the ways we adapt to it shape our path.

Together, the works in the exhibition propose an ongoing dialogue between origin and destination, fragmentation and continuity, displacement and renewal. Identity emerges not as a conclusion, but as a state perpetually still in translation.
