<\/a>\u201cWe issued an open call to students to participate in the exhibition, and the response was tremendous,\u201d said curator Geselev. \u201cAll summer, we walked around the student dorms on campus, looking for artworks of all kinds \u2013 posters, drawings, oil paintings, and more. We photographed them professionally, with the cooperation of the students, of course. They were warm and enthusiastic. Behind every door, we found love. The students opened up their worlds to us, their personal space, that is sacred to my eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The exhibition\u2019s opening last week was attended by the Technion Senior Executive Vice President Professor Oded Rabinovitch; Dean of Students Professor Ayelet Fishman; and the director of the dean\u2019s office, Dr. Janna Shainsky-Roitman; the director of the student dormitories, Avraham Adgaha; Efrat\u00a0Nativ Ronen,\u00a0secretary of the Unit for Undergraduate Studies.; Israeli Hope Officer Effi Barkai Goral; and Liby Manash, chairman of the Technion Student Association.<\/h4>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.technion.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/3-3-300x207.jpg\")

\u201cThe Ullmann building, where all Technion students spend their first year, is considered the melting pot of the Technion, and the most important building in the education we offer our students,\u201d said Prof. Oded Rabinovitch. \u201cThis is where the Technion spirit is created, so this location is right and proper for the exhibitions held here. This exhibition will also enhance the feeling of home and transmit a beautiful and important message to the entire Technion community.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe exhibition represents the diversity of the dormitory residents,\u201d said Dean of Students Prof. Ayelet Fishman at the opening. \u201cIt is a means for women and men pursuing all degrees, individuals and families from all sectors, from Israel and abroad, to express themselves. I warmly thank the students who shared their personal spaces with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I began my studies here four years ago, the walls in Ullmann building were empty,\u201d said Technion Student Association Chairman Liby Manash. \u201cThis change is so important because art is vital to life. It\u2019s very exciting to see how many students devote time to art while studying at the Technion.\u201d<\/h4>\n![\"Student](\"https:\/\/www.technion.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6-300x200.jpg\")

Other examples of art presented in the exhibition include<\/u>:<\/p>\n\n- Levi Horvitz\u2019s dorm room is decorated with paintings his partner, Sapir Solomon, drew as a child;<\/li>\n
- Zoe Morgenstern hung tapestry in her room, that she got from her brother before he flew abroad;<\/li>\n
- Jose Mar\u00eda Velasco decorated his room with paper cutouts that are part of the Day of the Dead tradition in his native Mexico. \u201cIt\u2019s my favorite holiday. I really miss the colors\u201d;<\/li>\n
- Gleb Merkulov hung a painting in his room created by Lali Kalinina, his mother\u2019s friend from Moscow;<\/li>\n
- Bhargav Jah has a painting that his former roommate, Noam, found and brought home. \u201cSince then, Noam has returned to the U.S., but the painting remains in my Technion dorm\u201d;<\/li>\n
- Ofek Zur from the Faculties of Physics and Electrical and Computer Engineering, who filled her room with her own paintings, explained that \u201cThe paintings remind me to believe in my talent to create life on paper. They also give me peace and calm and remind me of significant and pleasant moments in my life.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>Students at the exhibition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nCurator Valeria Geselev noted that she got her inspiration from the exhibition \u201cHome Is Where The Art Is,\u201d held in 2020 at the Zeitz MOCAA Museum in Cape Town, South Africa. That exhibition displayed about 2,000 works that residents brought from their homes.<\/p>\n
According to Geselev, \u201cIn the Technion exhibition, we didn\u2019t bring the works themselves, but photographed them and printed them in their original sizes on the walls of the corridor in the Ullmann building. The Technion is seen as a place of achievement and sometimes as a rigid place, but the exhibition reflects the beautiful and varied face of the campus\u2019s human diversity. For me, this is a celebration of individualism \u2013 students, their lives, their stories, the human connections they form. I thank all the partners who joined me on the exciting path that led to this exhibition, which is a rich group portrait depicting a temporary human community whose center is the Technion.\u201d<\/p>\n
