The VIDEONALE is an international video biennale, planned to take place in public spaces in the urban sphere. The first VIDEONALE, Image of Happiness, features works by woman artists from Israel and the world who engage in video art, with emphasis on video actions and performances.
The works on view address the complexity of women’s world in relation to various cultural and psychological aspects.
The first VIDEONALE exhibition, „Image of Happiness”, is presented in the context of the protests against the judicial overhaul in Israel and the participation of women in these protests. It is dedicated to women’s art in the field of video, introducing distinct feminist positions. Women take a significant part in the current wave of protests throughout Israel.
They act out of a sense of urgency, protesting against a future violation of their rights, which may be an outcome of the legal overhaul. They feel that this is a fight for the future of women in Israel based on the perception that a strong democratic state is one that promotes women, allows them adequate representation, and does not exclude them from the public and political spheres.
