Dor Zlekha Levy

Dor Zlekha Levy is a multimedia artist that specializes in audiovisual installations,
video art, and live performances. Sound is a core element in his work. Ongoing
collaborations with musicians are essential to his working process, from conception to
installation. His work is inspired by the history of Jews originating from Arab
countries and is expressed from his perspective as a third generation for the
immigration from Iraq to Israel. His creations bring to life the voices excluded from
Israeli cultural discourse in a way that allows them to not only be heard, but be
listened to.

Zlekha Levy creats large scale audiovisual installations for national parks and heritage
sites, such as The Bell Caves in Beit Guvrin and The Arches Pool in Ramle. Solo
exhibitions of his work have been held at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Braverman
Gallery and Room25, and he has participated in numerous group exhibitions at The
Israel Museum, Petach Tikva Museum of Art, Kunsthalle Stavanger, The Museum of
Islamic Art in Jerusalem, and more. His videos have been screened at international
festivals including Ars Electronica and institutions among them Kadist Foundation and
ICA London. A former resident artist at Artport Tel Aviv (2020), Dor is a recipient of
the 2017 Israeli Ministry of Culture Prize for a Young Artist, and was awarded the
Zoom Prize for a Young Israeli Artist in 2016.
