The exhibition presents a series of photographs of the Ravada Stream in Jerusalem, taken by local photographer Menachem Hanyani. The project showcases various stages of the natural landscape's transformation due to highway construction and the subsequent processes of nature's recovery. The exhibition is free to visit at the address: Sapir Square, Building 1.
Nahal Revidah flows through a valley between the Beit Kerem and Givat Shaul neighborhoods and the Har Nof neighborhood in Jerusalem, ending near the Beit Zita reservoir. This is a hidden natural gem in the heart of the city, a space where landscape and tranquility meet. In recent years, following the paving of Route 16, the wadi has undergone dramatic changes that have left a profound mark on the terrain and the character of the area. This photo collection seeks to observe the different layers of the wadi: before the work carried out there, during it, and after, and to examine how the landscape was scarred, transformed, and has begun to rebuild itself.
Menachem Hannani has been a resident of Jerusalem for approximately six decades, living in the Beit Kerem neighborhood. He is a retired professor at the Hebrew University and Hadassah Hospital School of Medicine, engaging in research and teaching in the field of neuroscience. Since childhood, he has pursued photography as a hobby.
