Um Subiyan
The 鈥淯m Subiyan鈥� exhibition (Yemeni for 鈥淢other of Spirits鈥�) by artists Raz Akta (jewelry), Orit Akta (painting), Ofir Akta (jewelry) explores the magical-traditional world of Yemeni Jews and how it has shaped their cultural, traditional, and ceremonial practices over time.
Magic is a universal phenomenon, transcending class, age, and education. Throughout history, people have turned to spirits, amulets, and incantations to make sense of the unknown and to seek protection. These beliefs are not confined to Jewish culture; they have appeared across societies worldwide. However, their deep historical roots give them a significant place in the study of human culture and consciousness. Even today, these beliefs continue to influence how people navigate challenges, with the power of self-persuasion (autosuggestion) often helping individuals feel more secure and in control, regardless of whether the practices themselves have any tangible effect.
