Exhibition | The Layers of Nahal Ravida
The exhibition presents a photo collection by Jerusalem resident Menachem Hanani, capturing the dramatic changes in the course of the Rawada River following the construction of a new highway. The project explores landscape transformation through photographs taken before the work began, during it, and after completion, illustrating the process of nature's natural recovery.

Ravda Stream: A Hidden Natural Gem in Jerusalem
Ravda Stream flows through a valley between the Beit HaKerem and Givat Sha'ul neighborhoods and the Neve Raviv 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 silence meet. In recent years, following the paving of Route 16, the stream has undergone dramatic changes that have left a deep mark on the terrain and the character of the area. This collection of photographs seeks to examine the different layers of the stream: before the work was done on it, during the process, and afterwards, exploring how the landscape scarred, changed, and is beginning to rebuild itself.
