Khen Shish: Shut Up!
Khen Shish’s expressionist works are moving, thought-provoking, and galvanizing. In the words of the writer Doron Braunshtein, her works "make you want to go out and do something [...] to act."

AME72
The street artist known as AME72 draws inspiration from pop culture and uses bold colors in his stenciled and freehand graffiti works. His installation features ten life-size policemen drawn on wooden boards: smiling on one side, frowning on the reverse. The policemen are designed to resemble LEGO minifigures, a recurring motif in the artist's work.

Aïm Deuelle Luski: The 21st Year to the Demise of Hilmi Shusha
The artist Aïm Deuelle Luski focuses his work The 21st Year to the Demise of Hilmi Shusha (2017) on a specific political event that occurred during the First Intifada. The two works present a reality in which the endless cycle of disaster, threat and terror produces a contemporary form of indifference and alienation. French philosopher Jacques Derrida describes this as a process of disconnection from the suffering of others. The suffering becomes transparent and denied, in a process of formative and defensive violence exercised by the state’s institutions.

To Collect Haifa
From the collection of Dr. Yermiyahu (Yeri) and Shoshana Rimon
The collections of Dr. Yirmiyahu Rimon (born in Haifa, 1933-2018), constituting one of the largest and most important private collections on the history of Palestine and Zionism, are the product of decades of enthusiastic and diligent collectorship. They bring to mind Walter Benjamin's definition, in an essay on collecting (in The Flaneur), of the collector as a courageous rebel, collecting objects not for their utilitarian value but rather according to their beauty and the memories they evoke.

Everyday souvenirs
This exhibition was created following the acquisition of the Rimon Collection by the Haifa Museums – a step that introduced a large private collection into the museum space. The exhibition addresses the tension between the "private collection" and the "museum collection" in the diverse

Back to Wonder
With reference to such "Cabinets of Wonder" and to the artistic-curatorial discourse that has developed in recent decades in Israel and abroad, we sought to examine the inventory of the Haifa Museums' storage rooms with a fresh gaze. We searched out the wonderful, the exotic, the amusing. In the exhibition hall we stacked objects and works arbitrarily – lacking any "class-based" hierarchy, with no commitment to chronological-historical organization or to the representation of a meta-narrative.
