The Artist Whose Oct. 7 Series ‘Attracts Fire’


Israeli artist Zoya Cherkassky's series "7 October 2023" depicts the aftermath of a deadly attack in Israel. The artworks quickly followed her flight to Munich to escape the shock and terror. The series, now exhibited at the Jewish Museum in Manhattan, showcases small, poignant images drawn with various mediums. Cherkassky's deeply personal response to the event has led to a controversial exhibition, reflecting the complex divide in the art world and Jewish community regarding the ongoing conflict. Cherkassky, known for her politically charged work, has faced criticism and protests, but remains committed to expressing her compassion and solidarity through her art.
