Alternative Histories, the second project in the exhibition is a social engagement project. Some of the pivotal stories on which Israeli collective memory have been established, and on which archaeological investigations were constructed, such as the Masada narrative, have now been proven to be myths, or partial truths. In Alternative Histories Israeli participants imagined different histories to Israel’s formation by making an archive of fictitious archaeological artifacts from recycled materials that were then “unearthed.”
