The 20&20 exhibition at the Museum of the Jewish People in Ramat Aviv spotlights forty Jewish female photographers, bridging the work of pioneering 20th-century artists with contemporary voices. The show aims to correct historical injustices by highlighting women whose contributions to photography were often overshadowed or appropriated by male counterparts, such as Lucia Moholy. Visitors encounter a diverse range of styles, from early avant-garde and experimental techniques to modern interpretations, with each contemporary photographer paired with a predecessor to foster a dialogue across generations. The exhibition not only celebrates artistic innovation but also reflects on the persistent challenges of gender inequality and the resilience of women who shaped the field despite societal barriers. Through personal stories, striking imagery, and thoughtful curation, 20&20 offers a compelling narrative of creativity, survival, and the enduring relevance of women's perspectives in photography.
