07SH10AH23 is a groundbreaking contemporary art exhibition opening on April 24, 2025- Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Memorial Day)- in South Tel Aviv. Born from the national trauma of the October 7th attacks, the exhibition seeks to translate unspeakable pain into a visual language of impact and resonance. It explores the emotional, cultural, and societal consequences of that day, asking how art can hold grief, shape memory, and offer space for reflection when words fall short.

The exhibition is curated by British cultural figure and curator Simon Durban, formerly the business manager of street artist Banksy. Known for his bold and provocative curatorial approach, Durban returns to the art world with a deeply personal undertaking. Describing the October 7 attacks as “one of the defining moments of modern history”, he uses his curatorial lens to craft an exhibition that is both intimate and collective, deeply Israeli and universally human.

More than 20 leading Israeli artists are participating, working across painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and more. Each work presents a distinct response to themes of rupture, memory, identity, and survival. Together, the pieces form a rich emotional and conceptual tapestry- where the personal is interwoven with the collective, and art becomes a vehicle for testimony, confrontation, and resilience.

Among the central works in the exhibition is a memorial installation constructed from the burned remains of the ambulance bombed at the Nova music festival, where 18 people were killed. Built from original fragments gathered at the site, the piece preserves the raw materials of the event as unfiltered evidence. The result is a living monument- not only commemorating the victims but also voicing a powerful, silent outcry that refuses to fade.

Another key work is by Moran Stella Yanai, a Nova survivor, who reconstructed the jewelry stand she ran at the festival. The piece includes original jewelry returned to her after her release from captivity, alongside a new series- the first she has created since. It represents a rare moment in art where healing occurs through material: a reclaiming of agency, a transformation of trauma into form, and a bridge between personal pain and collective memory.

07SH10AH23 is more than an exhibition- it is a cultural reckoning, a space of witness and reflection that maps the fracture lines of Israeli society through the lens of contemporary art. It is a call to stop looking away, to stand before memory with clarity, and to recognize the power of art to carry what cannot be carried- reconnecting the fragile threads between people, between past and present, between devastation and hope.
