A guided tour of the exhibition “Alenta” and an open conversation in artist Maayan Tahio’s studio will take place Friday, November 13, 2026, from 11 a.m. to noon at TA Tarbut Faitlovitch, 10 Vitkin Street, Tel Aviv. The full program at Faitlovitch runs until 1 p.m. Exhibition admission is free, and the tour requires advance registration.
The Amharic word “Alenta” describes someone or something a person can lean on and trust. The exhibition explores sources of support in the lives of Israelis of Ethiopian descent, including family, community, values, culture, history and tradition.
Psychologist Tali Samani’s research forms the basis of the exhibition, which she curated with co-curator Ayelet Goldberg Gabbay. The exhibition brings that research into conversation with contemporary artworks.
Participating artists include Antanesh Yalo, Gudai Bitualin-Erez, Habtam Aynao Tsabari, Yosef Wassa, Maayan Tahio, Nitzan Bitao, Solomon Yitzhak, Eden Yilma, Kalkidan Alemu, Shimon Wonda and Sharon Neguse.
Tahio is an artist in residence at Faitlovitch, and the conversation will be held in her studio there. For information and specific accessibility arrangements, contact the center at 073-3842637.
