Herstory 

Yael Serlin planted six tablet screens in the permanent exhibit of the World Center for the Heritage of North African Jewry, as if they were part of the exhibit’s explanatory system. The video works are connected thematically to the nearby exhibit items, and they shed a different light on them. The screens reveal a new narrative in five chapters: “Separation”, “Commerce”, “Book”, “Women”, “Bride”, and “Closed box”. Each episode brings an anecdote or story from the artist’s family history in the Atlas Mountains in North Africa, where they lived before they immigrated to Israel.
