Body of Work: Art Meets Anatomy / Tours in the museum with ENT / Sculpted Voices

The wide-open mouth in Israeli art often symbolizes a moment of rupture, outcry, or questioning—a visual representation of human experience in a complex reality. It sometimes serves as a metaphor for protest, a silent scream, or loss of voice.

This unique tour, led by experts from different fields, connects iconic Israeli sculptures with the anatomy of the human vocal cords. A museum guide will discuss two pivotal Israeli sculptures: Scream (1998) by Menashe Kadishman and He Walked in the Fields (1967) by Yigal Tumarkin. Dr. Hagit Shoffel-Havakuk will elaborate on the vital role of vocal cords in speech and emotional expression, such as crying or laughing.

Using an endoscopic device, participants will observe vocal cords in action—both in a scream and laughter—and connect with their artistic resonance.
