In the concluding session, we’ll speak with illustrator Racheli Shalev and musician Daniella Spector about art as a tool for imagining an open future within a present that feels closed.
We’ll explore how a war ends, the way it concludes, and the question of the “happy ending.”
Daniella Spector will perform songs from her repertoire, and illustrator Racheli Shalev will share and demonstrate moments when she drew hopeful endings during wartime — and how those illustrations became reality. The session will combine conversation and musical pieces.
The series How Do We Talk About War grew out of the exhibition As Soon as the War is Over, which examines the concept of war through defining historical narratives from our region.
The exhibition offers a broad view of wars as a shaping force in human history: who is considered the victor, who writes the story, and what happens to those left behind.
Through ancient battles, epics, and symbols of peace, it raises questions about heroism, suffering, memory, and hope — questions that continue to resonate in our present.
The encounter with history allows us to observe contemporary reality from a safe distance, and to examine war not merely as an event, but as an ongoing story.
About the Series
Inspired by the exhibition, a special three-part series of events was created, built as a single conceptual arc: how war is recounted, who the hero within it is, and how one emerges from it.
Each session focuses on a different angle of this journey — through art, creativity, and thought — tracing how ancient war narratives continue to roll forward into contemporary culture: into television, literature, music, and illustration.
