An ongoing experimental show that seeks to design an illusion through sound while revealing the transparent layer of sound that our bodies produce. The transparent sounds we normally ignore are revealed through movement and touch thanks to the different textures of the performer's body and clothes as well as through means of movement sensors located on his hands and feet. Visitors are invited to the hospice yard to listen, watch and be present at the show.

Studio Ma hosts Ariel Hirschfeld for a conversation about the question of the garden versus the non-garden, discussing the illusion of the urban garden and the artificial nature of urban environments.

Gaon’s Salon: Galit Gaon, Tom Cohen & Jerusalem Design Week Curators, Dana Ben Shalom and Sonia Olitsky
The Salon is a cross-disciplinary curatorial activity that moves through time and space, through the physical and the digital, creating a real time encounter of the temporal and of what is yet to come. Four curators will meet in the Hansen House yard on Saturday, at 19:00, right at the moment between Kodesh and Chol - the sacred and the secular - to talk about resting and rising, filtering and growing, illusions and prophecies.

A fascinating meeting with Etgar Keret about the similarities and differences between lies and literature, falsehood and creativity. In a conversation with Dr. Jeremy Fogel we dive into the wonderful literary world of Etgar Keret and try to understand why and how people make up stories.

Shaman Shaman - a limitless and unstoppable musical entity that takes on a new shape every single time it goes on stage. A live one-man-show whose soul sounds like an orchestra of 1000 musicians.

Design workshop for kids (ages 5-8)
In this art workshop we begin with a short tour of the various exhibits and works displayed throughout the gallery. We will observe, think and discuss what we see, feel and think during the tour. After the tour every boy and girl will have the chance to share their personal interpretation of the artworks we have just seen. The kids will then experiment and work with different materials, creating artworks of their own. In the end, we will present, observe and think about how these relate to the exhibition we saw at the beginning of the workshop.

Elisava - Barcelona School of Design and Engineering
Today’s post-pandemic world is defined, fundamentally, by rising levels of uncertainty and constant change that force us to radically rethink the aims, methods and formats of design. In this lecture we present the relevance and timeliness of ephemeral architecture and temporary space design, the ecosystem around MEATS Elisava, some of the results achieved, and the tools used to achieve them.

Storytellers’ night is a panel that allows us to dive into the human encounters of those participating in the ”Matchmaker” project, to let Jerusalem legends come to life, be carried away in the tale, and perhaps unearth new secrets about the city. In “The Matchmaker”, 2023, Jerusalem Design Week’s social project, a designer, a storyteller and a city structure were brought together. New local and imaginative souvenirs were created for the sake of the exhibition in response to the myriad stories and perspectives of Jerusalem.

A lecture by Prof. Moshe Halbertal
The lecture examines the question of false prophecy as it is presented in biblical literature and in the literature of the Jewish sages (Chazal) from a philosophical standpoint.

Currently, we are experiencing the world as it is mediated by seemingly neutral information applications operated by technology giants. As it takes viewers on a journey from Jerusalem to Jericho, the film Unrendered Road raises questions about the reliability of these systems and of the algorithms that navigate our lives. This is a route that "Google Maps" will not find for us, thus functioning as another de-facto border control point.

Moderator: Dr. Jeremy Vogel | Thinkers and Fantasizers: Mati Mariansky and Romi Mikulinsky

Hundreds of prompt writers from all over Israel will compete for the title of Israel’s Prompt King/Queen. Sub-prizes will be given to the crowd favorites. An epic head-to-head battle of Israel’s AI image generators that will take place on center stage during the Jerusalem Design Week.

Bezalel’s Orthodox Branch is a unique, groundbreaking project in Israel and the world that invites ultra-Orthodox women to study for a bachelor's degree in the fields of art and design. The venture was first founded about a decade ago following a long journey. Since then it has become a present-day reality that seeks to train independent female creators that are impacting the design field in the general Israeli space and in their home communities. Is this indeed the emerging reality or the false pretense of the dreamers? What is being created through this special linkage of worlds? In a multi-participant and open conversation we will become acquainted with staff members and graduates, get to know their unique work, learn about the challenges that arise in the face of different limitations and worldviews, and have the rare opportunity to create new interfaces between audiences and cultures.

A sit-down with the creators of the mini-series “Shadow of Truth”
A decade ago, directors Ari Pines and Yotam Gendelman set out on a journey into the intricate story of the murder case of the late Tair Rada. Their series, “Shadow of Truth”, was a kind of epistemological docu-record in which each episode was dedicated to a different aspect of the case, with the aim of testing whether we as humans have the tools to decide between conflicting narratives and arrive at the truth. The doubts the creators raised about Roman Zdorov's guilt paved the way for his retrial, in which he was recently acquitted after 16 years of false imprisonment. In a special lecture following the acquittal and the release of a new episode, they will talk about the path that led them, and the court, to the conclusion that Zadorov is innocent.

Asif: Asif Culinary Institute of Israel X Dr. Jeremy Fogel
Participants: Michal Levit - director of programs and innovation at Asif, Naama Nikotra - designer
This panel deals with blurring the boundaries between Food Culture and Food Tech. Despite the tendency to categorize the terms “agriculture”, “food culture” and “cooking” as “natural” or “wild”, at least in contrast to the technological and innovative categories of "foodtech" or "agrotech", this is not an issue of what is natural; for if we think about it, since the beginning of agriculture, Man has been manipulating nature.

Merav Roth
Sometimes a person has no alternative way to share his deepest truth, which he may not be aware of, but through lying. With the help of psychoanalysis and literature we try to distinguish between the different levels of attacking the truth: our defense mechanisms as an unconscious denial of the truth; lies as a deliberate attack on reality and on the Other; and lying as an expression of a deep truth that seeks to be revealed.

Dr. Jeremy Fogel
In Plato's parable of the cave lies the almost pious assumption that we should get out of the illusory shadow world inside the cave and move towards the sublime world of truth that lies outside. Our culture seems to have lost touch with this assumption. Not only is it not clear to us that there is a truth outside the cave, but if we were to acknowledge it, its value will be lost on us. Rather, we as a culture are building a cave within the cave in the form of virtual reality.

PADLab the post-anthropocene design lab, Shenkar
The lecture deals with methods for internalizing the point of view of nature through design, demonstrated through works from the exhibition ‘Nahal Taninim'. The discussion will revolve around questions regarding the role of design in seriously dealing with the environmental crisis and the ability of design practices to allow us to deal as individuals and as groups with end of the world scenarios.

The collaboration with Prof. Dan Arieli includes experiments on lies and truths that will take place throughout the week. The results will then be analyzed in a Zoom conversation by Prof. Arieli, bringing the truth to light.
