Works by Miriam Cabessa, winner of the Israeli Ministry of Culture Lifetime Achievement Award, collaborative pieces by the dynamic duo Nitzan Mintz and Dede Bandaid, known for their distinctive street art, as well as rising stars of the Israeli art scene, such as Hagai Farago, Iris Cintra, and Ronen Tanchum, all come together for a pop-up exhibit in Miami’s Little River for a limited engagement.
Yigal Pardo "Confettical Landscape 34," Color Print, is part of the "HOME| LAND" exhibition at Miami Ironside.
“HOME | LAND” opens Thursday, Nov. 14 and is on display Friday, Nov. 15 and Sunday, Nov. 17 at Miami Ironside, 7580 NE 4th Court.

In partnership with Consulate General of Israel in Miami and Tikkun Now, art advisor Michelle Azout brings together over 40 contemporary and historic Israeli artists with more than 100 artworks.
The exhibition presents a mix of media, including paintings, sculptures, prints, textiles, digital art, and photography.
The diverse array of artistic expressions provides a multifaceted view of the landscape of Israel, according to Azout who comments that "HOME | LAND” is a celebration of the deep, enduring connection between the people of Israel and their homeland.
“Seeing Israel through the eyes of the artists who live there is profoundly transformative,” says Azout, a Miami-based art advisor and curator. "Through the diverse works of these incredible artists, we see not only the beauty of the land but the strength and resilience of a nation," she says.

She has two decades of experience working in leading art museums and galleries across the country including Stanford University’s Cantor Arts Center, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Museum of Contemporary Art (North Miami), and serves on the Young Collector’s Board at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami.
“ ‘HOME | LAND’ is bringing a much-needed breath of fresh air in a vitriolic highly charged political environment,” says Azout, adding that “visitors have said that seeing the exhibition is like chicken soup for the soul.”
Azout adds that the exhibition goes beyond aesthetic appreciation, serving a dual purpose. All proceeds from the show go directly to artists working in Israel, providing economic support to the country's creative community. And, in an effort to combat antisemitism and antizionism, the exhibition serves to showcase the achievements of Israeli artists and provides a cultural weapon to combat the current rise in antisemitism and antizionism.
“I hope visitors walk away with a greater appreciation of Israel's cultural richness and the undeniable bond between its people and their land," says Azout.
