Notable Accolades 2020
In 2020, Bezalel alumni, faculty and staff were recognized for their work and contributions to the world of art, design and creativity
Ella Ben Yacov and Anita Hagadust, graduates of the Screen-Based Arts Department, won the Best Short Film Prize at the Tel Aviv Jewish Film Festival with their graduation film “Essence.” The film centers on two Jewish girls who live in Iraq and Iran at different historical periods and drink tea with their families, each in their own unique way. Threats and persecutions force them to flee, leave everything behind, and immigrate to Israel.
Bezalel congratulates the artist Hilla Toony Navok, an alumna of the MFA program, on winning the 2020 Discount Bank Artistic Encouragement Award at the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art.
Each the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art bestows the Discount Artistic Encouragement Award to an Israeli artist in recognition of the art, the artists and the Museum. This year’s recipient is Hilla Toony Navok, an award-winning artist who works with sculpture and drawing. From the jury’s reasoning: “Hilla Toony Navok’s works draw their inspiration from the material Israeli environment surrounding her. In her work, familiar, readymade objects and accordingly acute realism, are coupled with geometric abstraction. Contemporaneity and modernism are combined with great talent, encapsulating expressions of humor and critique of our time.”
The lecturers of the Architecture Department are involved in significant projects on an urban scale in Israel and worldwide. Bezalel congratulates lecturers Architect Saar Gharan Levy and Architect Michael Walma van der Molen, on placing second in the public competition to plan the Sheba Station Bridge in Ramat Gan.

Bezalel congratulates Ana Warshavsky, a graduate of the Department of Visual Communication, on winning the Israel Museum’s 2020 Ben-Yitzhak Award for the Illustration of a Children's Book, for her illustrations for “Zerubbabel and Zilpa,” by Ronit Chacham (Agam Yaldut, 2019). As the jury stated: “Unruly and at times even ugly, the illustrations blend with the political and universal text to form a complex artwork, offering tomorrow’s children a narrative that is escapist, pragmatic and beautiful.”
All the illustrators who received honorable mentions are also alumni of the Department: Itay Bekin for his illustrations for “The Children’s Book of Silence” by Oren Lavie; Naama Benziman for her book “Lenny and Benny;” Omer Hoffmann for his book “The Boy Who Mailed His Family;” and Einat Tsarfati for her book “Sand Castle.”
Yuval Haker is an animation director and graduate of the Department of Visual Communication. After working on international projects (!Vox, Netflix and more), he was chosen as one of the 31 finalists in the international Young Guns 18 competition for emerging creatives, an award that honors a young creative's body of work over multiple years. In the context of the competition, Haker was also selected by the international artist management agency Levine/Leavitt for an artist-in-residence program. Hundreds of leading artists, filmmakers, animators, illustrators and designers competed for this prestigious position.
Established in 1988, the Mordechai Ish Shalom Lifetime Achievement Award is presented each year to an Israeli artist for their body of work or contribution to the arts by the Painters and Sculptors Association and the Jerusalem Artists’ House. Bezalel congratulates the artist Talia Tokatly, on winning the 2021 Mordechai Ish Shalom Lifetime Achievement Award. She is a graduate of the Department of Ceramics and Glass Design, where she also served as a senior lecturer. From the jury’s reasoning: “Talia Tokatly is an exceptional artist whose work oscillates between high technical expertise in the field of ceramics and art for its own sake, which is not limited to material or subject, but is centered on the transformation of matter into spirit.”
Bezalel congratulates the five winners of the Dudu Geva Comics “Golden Duck” Award. They are all alumni and lecturers at the Department of Visual Communication.

The technological domain reinvents almost every field in our lives – agriculture and communication, relationships and education, transportation and health – changing the social fabric. Technological developments are created with the promise to disrupt the familiar fields, promote entire markets and industries and to change the future of mankind for the better.
The technological domain reinvents almost every field in our lives – agriculture and communication, relationships and education, transportation and health – changing the social fabric. Technological developments are created with the promise to disrupt the familiar fields, promote entire markets and industries and to change the future of mankind for the better. Technology surrounds us, it merges with man and shapes him, which is why in the year 2021 the concept nearly lost its meaning. Against this background – the 'Design & Technology' Track is attempting to understand the concept of technology as a promise for a better future, or as a creative response to human action.
The designer mediates between the technological to the mundane, giving technology shape and flavor in order to make it accessible to human beings. The role of the designers is to imagine, develop intuition, and establish it, to be critical and creative in order to enable man to dictate the desired forms of interaction. Technology is a tool and expression for the accumulative knowledge of human society, and the track enables each student to engage in materials which occupy him/her and which encourage imagination and action in favor of creating a change for the better.
The track offers collaborations with leading companies and start-ups, exceptional academic and artistic collaborations. Below are the collaborations which took place in recent years:
- Collaboration with the Departments of Art and Industrial Engineering and Management at the Ben Gurion University on the subject of Robotics
- Continuous collaboration with Amit Zoran's laboratory at the Hebrew University on the subjects of Craft and Technology
- Research-design collaboration with the Institute of Industrial Science at the Tokyo University, which engages in Biotechnology and Transportation of the Future
- Collaboration with Intel Company in search for possible applications for generative models
