The series War Decorations 23–24 was painted following Tal Mazliach's experiences of October 7. She hid in the bomb shelter room of her home, which also serves as her studio, for almost twenty hours, until she was rescued and taken to safety. Born in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, the artist grew up living “on the fence” between Israel and the Gaza Strip. She has been grappling with the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and the ensuing existential threat for over two and a half decades. — On view until January 11, 2025 Special project '73–'23: Video Salon Between Two Wars A collaboration between Tel Aviv Museum of Art and ZUMU—Museum on the Move This project has been curated on the cusp between October 6, 1973 and October 7, 2023; on the timeline between two traumas in which the national and the personal are intertwined.

Special installation Muhammad Abo Salme: Cascade

The site-specific installation Cascade by lighting artist Muhammad Abo Salme at the Museum׳s Lightfall space is comprised of thousands of meters of metal bead chains. These are associated with military dog tags, and nowadays with the chains expressing solidarity with the hostages abducted by Hamas militants on October 7, 2023. Engaging with universal human loss as a result of war, the installation produces both distress and wonder. — On view until December 28, 2024
