A casual lecture transforms into a brutal display as Boaz Barkan digs into a living human body to uncover a new organ – the place where our racism resides.

In this work, Boaz Barkan proposes an alternative narrative to the history of antisemitism and Zionism. Blurring victim and oppressor, the work traces how histories of antisemitism live on within the body – shaping identity, trauma, and violence. It reveals how ideas of superiority and inferiority are internalised, reproduced, and embodied. Set on a stark, clinical stage, a living body becomes both subject and object in an unsettling yet compelling dissection. The result is thought-provoking and strangely humorous – a journey through flesh, history, and ideology.

Provocative and unflinching, Our Other Organ challenges what we carry within us – and what we choose to see.
