Art in the Time of the Israel-Hamas War

Artistic expression is booming in Israel. Many have said that if you’re not in milium (army reserve duty), you’re probably creating something. Israeli artists of all disciplines have used their art as a way to take action, they’ve used their art to tell the stories of individuals, as calls for political action (both in Israel and abroad), as a means of escape, as a way to remember and to foster unity, and so much more.

This collection of resources highlights the creativity that has come alive across Israel since October 7. As you explore them, we encourage you to use these questions and conversation prompts to spark discussion and engagement with any of the stories or art pieces.
