Koncom apríla 2023 sme otvorili krásny výstavný projekt Heroines : my personal female hero v reprezentatívnych priestoroch Slovenského kultúrneho inštitútu v Jeruzaleme (SIJ).

The exhibition is part of SIJ’s project that celebrates women. At the same time, an exhibition of successful Jewish Slovak women who changed the world – Heritage SHEroes, curated by Michal Vanek under the auspices of the Slovak Jewish Museum in Bratislava, opened in another space of the Institute.

We reflect back and are still full of impressions from this year-long project. Nine contemporary Slovak women artists across all generations presented works from their oeuvre that represent their personal heroine. We truly hope they will impress the general and professional public in Israel. The exhibition will run until October 2023 and will be accompanied by several events.
