‘I though, let’s rebuild the festival and show the world what happened’ – the story behind the Nova Exhibition
Creators of the display bearing witness to horrors of October 7 speak to the JC as it nears the end of its stint in London
Assessment
The Nova Exhibition in London is nearing its conclusion, and its creators are speaking publicly about the decision to reconstruct the festival as a form of witness. The core question is whether such an immersive memorial can effectively convey the scale of the October 7 atrocities to a global audience. The exhibition's closing in London shifts attention to where it might travel next and how its narrative will be sustained.
