When different types of knowledge and practice meet, they enrich each other. The book reflects on this meeting of divergent processes in Jerusalem. The contributions attempt to challenge the apparent division between contemporary art and ethnography, between tradition, preservation and representation, in an approach the editors call contemporary ethnography, where the borders between ethnography and contemporary art are blurred.

The idea of the book developed in a local context, among the tensions between practices of possession and dispossession. It results from an art-research project on the relationship between Jewish ethnography and Israeli contemporary art, between academic research and art research. The contributions of this volume aim to reflect, expand, and interpret the process that develops experimental methods of research and creation at the Museum of the Contemporary and beyond.
