Recipient of the 2024 Rappaport Prize for Art in Times of War

Ariel Hacohen (born 1993, lives and works in Jerusalem) creates a two-channel video installation centered around the “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves” from Giuseppe Verdi’s opera Nabucco (1842). The opera recounts the biblical story of Nebuchadnezzar II, the Babylonian king who destroyed the First Temple and exiled the Israelites to Babylon.
