(RE)Defining Zionism: Portraits and Perspectives from a Post-October 7 Israel
đ Hillel at UCLA
đď¸ Now through June 18, 2025
đ Open MondayâFriday, 9:00 AM â 4:00 PM
As student activism faces increasing backlash across U.S. campuses, this powerful photo exhibit challenges the dominant narratives around Zionism. Photographer Shlomit Levy Bard traveled throughout IsraelâHaifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Beersheva, and along the Gaza borderâcapturing the faces and voices of over 60 Israelis from diverse backgrounds: Jewish, Muslim, Druze, and Christian.
Through intimate portraits and personal testimony, the exhibit invites students and visitors to explore the complexity of Zionism in the aftermath of October 7. It confronts ideological binaries and opens space for real conversation.
đ Presented by the Y&S Nazarian Center for Israel Studies, The Dortort Center for Creativity in the Arts at UCLA Hillel, the Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies, and UCLA Hillel.
