Since December 2015, the curators of the Institute for Public Presence, Udi Edelman and Yael Messer, in collaboration with artist Yochai Avrahami, have been conducting investigative tours in various public space locations. The tours include visits to esoteric museums, moshavim, kibbutzim, meetings with artists working outside the artistic mainstream, research at sites and in archives, and mapping monuments and sculptures in the public space. The discussions and documentation of the journey engage with questions concerning the formal, material, and ideological elements comprising these objects and sites, and their role in the cultural construction of the Zionist narrative.
