Summary
- Manofim festival turns 18 with diverse art disciplines.

The 18th annual Manofim arts festival in Jerusalem has grown significantly since its inception 18 years ago, expanding from a visual arts focus to encompass theater, film, performance art, and live music.
The festival this year highlights the 40th anniversary of the Zik Group, an interdisciplinary art collective known for fusing sculpture, music, and theater, with an exhibition and performances titled 'Zik Galaxy.'
Under the theme 'Hakara,' which means recognition and acceptance, Manofim aims to foster connections and understanding between diverse communities. This includes initiatives like screening World Cup matches with commentary in both Hebrew and Arabic.
The 'Drift' exhibition at the Artists' Studios reflects the current climate of uncertainty, encouraging artists to explore how this state influences their creative processes and artistic journeys.
