Contemporary Israeli Art in the Kishle: The Kishle encapsulates 2800 years of Jerusalem’s history. This narrow, arched structure, 450 meters in size, contained prison cells from the Ottoman and British Mandate periods. It has foundations of King Herod’s palace, archaeological finds dating to the Hasmonean period (2200 years ago) and, deep underground, a massive wall from the time of the kings of Judea during the First Temple period (8th century BCE).

Artists presented in the exhibit: Hannan Abu-Hussein, Sahar Azimi, Sharon Balaban, Matan Daskal, Yehudit Sasportas, , Merav Shinn Ben-Alon, and Lihi Turjeman.
