(RE)Defining Zionism: Portraits and Perspectives from a Post-October 7 Israel

Now through June 18
Hillel at UCLA

WHAT:
A photography and storytelling exhibit featuring the work of Israeli-American photographer Shlomit Levy Bard, who traveled across Israel to document over 60 personal stories from Jews, Muslims, Druze, and Christians in the aftermath of October 7. The exhibit presents unfiltered images and perspectives that challenge simplified narratives around Zionism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

WHERE:
Hillel at UCLA
574 Hilgard Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90024

WHEN:
Monday, April 27, 2025
TIME: 7:30 PM

DETAILS:
Amid rising tensions and polarized debates on college campuses, (RE)Defining Zionism invites students and community members to engage with real stories and complex identities. The event includes a live on-stage interview between photographer Shlomit Levy Bard and Cantor Rabbi Hillary Chorny, offering insight into the people behind the portraits.

“Campus conversations on Zionism often force people into ideological boxes,” says Levy Bard. “But in Israel, the lines aren’t so clear-cut. This exhibit challenges those binaries.”

Join us at Hillel at UCLA, Monday, April 27th at 7:30 PM for a powerful evening of photography, storytelling, and meaningful conversation.
