Art & Belief Systems
 

This seminar is divided into two parts running for two consecutive years. The first year explores the intersection of art, belief systems, and the transformative power of creative practice. Through research, collaboration, and artistic production, students critically examine how belief systems, shaped by myths, rituals, symbols, and visual narratives, construct identities, ideologies, and cultural memory.

In the first year, students of all fields of study of huminites and art will build a multidisciplinary archive, employing innovative methods of data collection, including oral histories, archival research, and spiritual practices. This phase fosters collaborative exploration and challenges conventional academic boundaries, encouraging participants to uncover untold stories and rethink dominant perspectives.

After finishing the first part the participating artists will be invited to continue in the second year a smaller group to focus on transforming research into art, culminating in an exhibition that embodies the seminar's themes. Students will develop individual and collective works, supported through mentorship and a hands-on approach to artistic practice.

By engaging with diverse viewpoints and fostering dialogue, the seminar empowers students to use art as a tool for connection, empathy, and reimagining belief systems.

Truth (and Other Stories)


This seminar is open to students and emerging artists working in fine art, photography, and media art who have a strong interest in the relationship between history, memory, and moving images. While no prior filmmaking experience is required, participants should be familiar with visual media and conceptual research. Applicants should submit a brief statement outlining their interests and experience, along with examples of previous work if available. The course encourages both the development of new projects and the expansion of existing ideas, guiding participants through archival research, theoretical inquiry, and hands-on visual experimentation. Through lectures, screenings, discussions, and personal mentoring, students will engage critically with contemporary artistic strategies, culminating in a final project that integrates these themes into their practice.

PAINTING MASTERCLASS
JOSSEF KRISPEL (Painter and Head of the Department of Fine Arts at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem)
 
Hunting Images

The idea of pursuing and hunting images as a principle for the artistic painting action. How does painting respond to applications, networks and features that reality is embedded in? What is the role of painting in relation to the truth? Do they carry any duty or morality of the subjects depicted? Since the dawn of time painters have been motivated by inventing images in relation to reality. When it comes to figuration of images, a complete set of questions is considered in the act of painting. In this intense workshop we will examine the interrelationship between capturing representations versus questions of studio-action and pictorial solutions.

Art seeking shelter

When and where do we feel protected, and when do we feel exposed?
How quickly do we transition from one state to the other?
Our sense of safety and vulnerability as human beings and artists in our everyday surroundings will be key points in the workshop. Through a series of sculptural actions in city public spaces such as -  the campus, the way home, the shopping mall, ect. we will explore sculpture that emerges from the connection between the environment and our immediate bodily sensations.
Participants will experiment with temporary installations in urban spaces, engaging in discussions and presentations in the studio and in a long-term personal project.

PHOTOGRAPHY/ VIDEO
 MASTERCLASS
DAVID ADIKA  (Photographer and Head of the Photography Department at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design Jerusalem)

Identities & Human Rights



This workshop will explore the intricate relationship between photography, identity, and human rights. Participants will engage in critical discussions on photography’s role in representing reality and shaping diverse identities while reflecting on the intersections of these identities with human rights and equality. We will examine contemporary photography projects that challenge and expand traditional views of reality through a pluralistic lens, recognizing equality and human rights as fundamental values and guiding principles. By exploring various identity expressions across different spheres of life, we will focus on “the missing image”— a visual representation that reveals what is often overlooked or unseen. Participants will be encouraged to develop a personal project that captures reality through the lens of one or more identity perspectives. Throughout the workshop, we will embark on both individual and collective visual journeys, including city walks to visit photography exhibitions. We aim to create shared, empowering experiences that foster a deeper understanding of how photography can reflect and amplify diverse identities.


The class will be taught in English.

PERFORMANCE WORKSHOP
ALONA RODEH (Multimedia and visual artist)
​

Performance without Performers

This workshop invites students to explore Performance without Performers, a form of work where time, movement, light, and sound take center stage at the expense of the human body. Inspired by Object-Oriented Ontology*, participants will experiment with creating performative environments devoid of human stage presence over time, using technology, spatial design, and objects as their primary tools. Concurrently, the workshop will examine automated performances in our surroundings, addressing their environmental, social, and political dimensions. *Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) is a 21st-century philosophical school rejecting the supremacy of human existence over that of non-human entities.

The Meeting Point

The Meeting Point offers guidance and in-depth discussion based on five central axes of work. These axes have been articulated and translated into a unique mentoring model for each student, providing an essential foundation for dialogue and comprehensive support for the student throughout their particular work process in any field and medium. 

During the personal meeting, an in-depth reading and guidance will be provided, addressing both the specific working process of each student and the content of their work within a broader context. Unique exercises will articulate specially for each student and his working process. In this conversational space, mutual responsibility is taken by both the mentor and the student, who together articulate a full commitment to the shared work process in all its layers.

Dates:
The first and last Zoom meeting will feature the whole group. In between the participants will have three individual Zoom sessions with the mentor during september. Final dates will be announced soon.

​​

The class will be taught in English. The Number of participants is limited.
