“With a critical examination of complex geo-political concerns and the fraught relationships between global powers and the Middle East, Nevet Yitzhak’s practice raises questions about cultural heritage, suppressed histories, collective forgetfulness, and identity.Informed by extended research and scholarship, the video and sound installations of Nevet Yitzhak combine archival, photographic and found materials transformed through digital animation, editing and sound treatment. With a critical examination of complex geo-political concerns and the fraught relationships between global powers and the Middle East, her practice raises questions about cultural heritage, suppressed histories, collective forgetfulness, and identity. Living in Israel as a Jewish artist of Kurdish, Syrian and Yemenite heritage, Yitzhak creates work that responds to her context, expressing her minoritized position within Israeli society and her dissent from its current politics.” (Koffler)
