Dana Levy and Dor Zlekha Levy in Munich

The show features seven artists exploring Jewish identities across North Africa and West Asia through themes of exile and belonging.

 

Dana Levy presents the Fatherland Archives project (2025): A two-channel video installation accompanied by light-box collages. This research-based project is an ode to Egyptian Jewish culture, weaving together live testimony and archival fragments from the Cairo Geniza.

 

Dor Zlekha Levy presents two works:

Shomer (2019): A video installation reconstructing the history of Lebanon’s Magen Avraham synagogue through layered projections of archival photos and personal memories.

Maqamat (2017): A video and sound installation that reclaims early 20th-century Iraqi Arab music to address themes of diaspora and yearning.
