Photographer Menahem Hanani presents an exhibition of photographs capturing the transformation of Nachal Rivida's riverbed following extensive road construction work. The series demonstrates the landscape before, during, and after construction, showing the process of nature's recovery. Admission to the exhibition is free.
Nachal Ravida flows through a valley between the Beit HaKerem neighborhood and Givat Shaul, and the Har Nof neighborhood in Jerusalem, ending near the Beit Zayit reservoir. It is a hidden gem of nature in the heart of the city, a space where landscape and quiet meet. In recent years, following the paving of Highway 16, the stream underwent dramatic changes, leaving a deep mark on the surface and character of the area. This collection of photographs seeks to observe the different layers of the stream: before the work done on it, during it, and after it, and to examine how the landscape came apart, changed, and begins to be rebuilt anew.
Menahem Hanani has been a Jerusalem resident for sixty years and lives in the Beit HaKerem neighborhood. Menahem is a professor (retired) at the School of Medicine of the Hebrew University and Hadassah Hospital, and engages in research and teaching in the field of neuroscience. Since childhood he has been engaged in photography as a hobby.
