This exhibition of Israeli art from the AU Museum’s permanent collection will unpack landscape depictions in various media. It offers a historicized consideration of myth-making, forced migration, displacement, erasure, and trauma as showcased in the works of artists whose singular nationality envelops the entirety of land encompassing two nations—Palestine and Israel.

The works in the exhibition apply the formal language of western modernism to the localized politics and narratives that also enacted a historical process of erasure.
