“El: HaSadeh” (“To the Field”) will bring three days of music, performance, video and talks to CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo on November 12-14, 2026. Admission at 2 Tzadok HaCohen Street is free, and the program includes a cyanotype workshop for children ages 6 and up.

This year’s festival is named in memory of curator Edna Moshanson, who led the Tel Aviv Museum of Art’s department of prints and drawings for about 30 years before continuing her work as an independent curator. Its theme of time machines takes inspiration from Uri Katzenstein’s work “Hope Machines.”

Works by Milla Levy, Oz Malul, Naama Arad, Dariusz Fodczuk and Uri Katzenstein will be shown throughout the center. Eran Shani and VJ VAJJ are responsible for the spatial design.

Thursday, November 12: 7-11:30 p.m.

The evening opens at 7 p.m. with a drone-music action throughout the center. Visitors are invited to bring instruments. From 8 to 9 p.m., a “Kaduregel Kal” exhibition soccer match on the adjacent field will accompany the launch of the fanzine “Why Did I Stop Playing Soccer?” with fan songs by Maya Landsman and Or Rimer’s Power Stranges.

A video selection curated by Luma Abu Warda screens in the auditorium from 8 to 11 p.m. Eitan Ben Moshe hosts tarot readings in the first-floor Bar-Tana space from 8:15 to 9 p.m. Music curated by Kim Karts, with Electric Sea and Itzik Gil Avizohar, runs from 9 to 11 p.m., with a DJ set by Hillel David Greenwald in Bar-Tana.

From 1 to 2 p.m., Naama Stern-Licht will discuss and pour her homemade local tonic in Bar-Tana. At 2 p.m., Israeli and Polish artists will prepare a workers’ meal in the courtyard for “Field Cooking,” a collaborative project exploring the potato.

Saturday, November 14: 11 a.m.-10 p.m.

At 11 a.m., Shiran Yitzhari leads a cyanotype workshop in the auditorium for children ages 6 and up. Participants will make blue sun prints and explore how light and exposure time shape an image.

The video selection screens in the auditorium from 2 to 8 p.m. Music on the entrance floor runs from 2 to 10 p.m., with Michal Goldstein and Sima Guttmann, Maniucha Bikont and Assaf Talmudi, Ayala Shamir, Adam Avishai, Nico Teen, Ketamine and Bein HaHarisot.
