The French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici presents the exhibition Shared Sacred Sites from October 9, 2025 to January 19, 2026. The show brings together major works from French, Italian, and Vatican collections placed in dialogue with contemporary creations.

Pereg will present her work ISHMAEL, which follows the five Muslim Muezzin calls for prayer from 4AM to 9PM, documenting the singular way in which the ritual is conducted in the Cave of the Patriarchs (Hebron) under the escort of the Israeli Defense Forces.
