Explore the stories of two female warriors who embody the values of faith, character, and prudence, and discover the qualities that make women true leaders in a male-dominated world. This book tells the story of Deborah and Yael, highlighting the power and resilience of women warriors throughout history. It is a thought-provoking and powerful read that challenges theological beliefs. This legacy will inspire future leaders to demonstrate the same qualities when faced with adversity. Discover how two extraordinary warriors inspired generations of women with their courage and perseverance. The story of Deborah and Yael in the Bible portrays two powerful women who were empowered by God. Deborah was sent by God to call Israel back to the law, and she is often compared to Moses. Yael and Deborah are dynamic and strong female protagonists who should not be underestimated. Their characters have served as an inspiration even to those who disagree with their actions or beliefs. Throughout history, the patriarchal beliefs and structures of society have relegated women to a second-class status and severely limited their rights and opportunities. In this biblical war story, the two women serve as messengers of God, delivering the prophecy, carrying out the sentence, and playing a significant role in the deliverance of the Israelites. Living in a patriarchal cultural system can be challenging, especially if women are considered inferior and powerless. In this story, overcoming fear and shame is crucial to achieving success. Deborah was a messenger of God, and Yael was an executioner. They met by chance after a battle with the Canaanites, who had oppressed the Israelites for forty years, in which Sisera, an army general, was defeated. Their duties required supernatural abilities to bring glory to God and peace to a nation. From His Mercy Seat, God called out to a people with a history of being ungrateful and disobedient to His laws. Deborah upheld the truth and prophecy of God, while Yael was both admirable and lethal.
This first monograph dedicated to the work of Israeli-born artist Yael Bartana (born 1970) gives a comprehensive overview of the artist's films, installations, performative projects, photographs, and sound works of the past 15 years.From Bartana's early video vignettes to her most recent project What if Women Ruled the World? (2017), by way of her monumental trilogy And Europe Will Be Stunned (2007-11) with which she represented Poland at the 54th Venice Biennale, the book highlights the artist's fascination with the ways that social rituals shape both individual identities and collective memory. Bartana's works are themselves modeled on the aesthetics of the ritual, and are therefore performances that unapologetically seduce us. Her films draw attention to the fact that cinema is a ritual, and that the camera, perhaps better than any other device, mimics the ritualistic in its ability to fetishize, seduce and draw us into the ceremony we are watching.
She Is Hope. She Is the Leader. She Is the Messiah. She Is History. She Is Fake. The video artist Yael Bartana (b. Kfar Yehezkel, Israel, 1970; lives and works in Amsterdam and Berlin) makes work that explores the visual language of identity and the politics of commemoration. The critical scrutiny of collective expectations of political or religious salvation is a central concern in her art. In the video installation Malka Germania--Hebrew for "Queen Germany"--Bartana creates alternative realities from the German-Jewish past and present that bring scenes of the collective unconscious to light. The publication follows the epiphany of Malka Germania, a female redeemer figure, in five chapters whose layout is modeled on that of the Talmud, the central text in Rabbinical Judaism. This organization reflects the polyphonic complexity, rich nuance, and ambivalence that the work casts into visuals and underscores that there is no simple answer. The book includes an interview with the artist and contributions by Sami Berdugo, Christina von Braun, Michael Brenner, Max Czollek, and others. It is published on occasion of the exhibition Yael Bartana--Redemption Now at the Jewish Museum Berlin.
