Israeli artist Ruth Patir postponed the unveiling of her video installation, “(M)otherland,” scheduled for the Venice Biennale, urging for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict and the release of hostages. The exhibit, set to showcase at Israel’s national pavilion, was delayed on the eve of its media preview. Patir’s decision reflects her call for peace amidst ongoing hostilities, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing humanitarian concerns over artistic displays during times of crisis.
