Yuval Avital: ALMA MATER

The Israel Museum, Jerusalem | Until 14 June

A sound installation by artist and musician Yuval Avital that draws on thousands of hours of traditional chants, whispers, and tales by women from diverse cultures and time periods, merging archival recordings and sounds from nature with cutting-edge technology, video, and artistic lighting to create an original piece.

This immersive work embodies the nurturing spirit of the Great Mother archetype, creating a metaphorical womb of reconnection and healing. Its display is a prelude to the Museum’s major exhibition on sound art, upcoming in 2025.
