Art Guide
For each song in our playlist, we offer an example of contemporary Israeli visual art that connects with the themes and narrative of the lyrics. This adds another dimension to your exploration of each song while enriching your familiarity with Israeli art and culture.

The Children of the Children of ’73 takes a dim view of Israeli youth and their ability to rise above the sadness, anger, and frustration that they were born into.
In sharp contrast, the HaMiffal art space in Jerusalem was created as an act of hope, of protest, an investment in Israel’s future by members of the same generation shown in the song.
Occupying a long-abandoned building in the city-center, a group of young artists use the walls, ceilings, and floor space of the building for cooperative artistic ventures.
And Now You
- Why do you think that the artist perceives that Israeli youth of today are born into a state of hopelessness? What is your experience of this generation?
- Are there elements of hopelessness evident in the youth where you live? Do you live with these feelings and if so, what do you think is the cause?
- We chose to answer the cynicism and hopelessness of the song with a very powerful artistic antidote. Was that fair? Should the answer always be to look for a silver lining? What art might you have chosen to showcase instead?
