About the exhibition "Gog Mgog"
With the participation of 60 artists
A meeting of poetry, creation, and hope
The community of artists of the "Keren Or Caesarea" continues this year the tradition of volunteering and is committed to creating for the association's annual fundraising exhibition for war victims.
60 artists from the community of artists of the "Keren Or Caesarea" were invited to this year's exhibition to examine the concept of "Gog and Magog", to give it a personal interpretation and to express in their own artistic and unique way where Gog and Magog meets them in today's reality.
The concept of "Gog and Magog" originates from the prophecy of Ezekiel, which foretells a coalition of enemies led by Gog, King of Magog, who rises against Israel, who resides in its land, but through divine intervention, suffers a miraculous defeat, the sole purpose of which is to demonstrate divine sovereignty in the world, in order to deter the nations of the world from the God of Israel, and to restore Israel's faith in its God so that spiritual redemption will be completed, the Third Temple will be built, and world peace will prevail.
The prophecy was written 2,600 years ago, and to this day, no historical event has occurred whose details match the details of the prophecy. According to the academic-critical approach, Ezekiel's prophecy was not fulfilled and will not be fulfilled in a simple way - but is a theological-literary text and probably suited in the past and will suit in the future wars of a decisive magnitude. Such as those who like to define as a "biblical" event.
In other words, the biblical concept of "Gog and Magog" has long gone beyond the boundaries of the religious text and has become a cultural-mythological concept that describes chaos and destruction, a moment of great rupture in which old world orders collapse to make way for something new.
The exhibition will open on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at the TAO Center for Culture and Arts in Herzliya. We would love to see you,
