In the new exhibition, we want to examine the role of design in raising awareness and changing our consciousness as consumers, designers.
The exhibition, curated by Mia Devash, Rona Singer and Adi Hamer Jacobi, will feature over 120 contemporary projects from Israel and the world, from well-known off-the-shelf products and medical technological developments to critical and political design works, alongside interactive installations and iconic examples from popular culture, which provide a broad view of gender issues.

In light of the events of October 7, the exhibition underwent changes and included new design and art works that specifically refer to gender issues in the context of the period.
The exhibition confronts questions about identity and society, and raises awareness of how objects shape our social perceptions, and on the other hand, how gender stereotypes affect design, and how great is the power of design to lead to change, to strive for equality, and to act to dismantle fixed patterns of thinking that shape our gender identity .

"This is one of the most complex projects we have ever taken on. Dealing with a sensitive and explosive topic like gender is challenging even in 'peacetime', let alone during war. The last few months have made it clear to us how relevant the exhibition is more than ever and how important it is to the local discourse.

"Gender touches and deals with all of us - and in that design is a key player, but also much more than that. Design has everything it takes to make the issue accessible and raise awareness, so that together we can design a more equal and better society for us," said the curators of the exhibition.
