Goldstone Gallery invites you to a landmark exhibition documenting the atrocities of October 7, 2023, and the wave of antisemitism that followed in Australia. The exhibition brings together testimony, evidence, and artistic responses to create an inclusive, non-political space for remembrance, truth, and dialogue.
Spanning seven exhibition spaces over two levels, this museum-standard presentation features documents, installations, documentary and virtual reality films, photography, sculpture, performance, and writing by leading local and Israeli artists to commemorate the victims and bear witness to the events of that day. We recommend allowing 1–3 hours to fully experience the exhibition.
Artists: Danny Ben-Moshe, Emmanuel Santos, Daphna Wysokier Dishi, Tali Lavi, Ella Dreyfus, Talia Rose Sofizade, Aliza Levi, Nina Sanadze, Ilan El, Eylon Ben Haim, and Noam Cohney.

Poetry, like music, has the ability to evoke the particular and the mythic. It might be both a whole vessel and a shattered vessel. Poets, mainly Jewish, from Australia and overseas were asked to contribute poems that spoke to the event of October 7 or life afterwards as connected to the event. It could be a direct response or a connection as subtle as a mood. All poems were written after October 7 2023. Some of the poems were already in existence, others were written for the exhibition. Many of the poems have not been made public until now.
The poems are hung on the walls and available as audio recordings read by the poets themselves.
The poems offer a bridge to the reader and beyond. And in their assemblage together, the poets are bestowed the comfort of each other.
Poets: Alex Skovron, Andrew Harris, Anna Jacobson, Anthony Levin, Barbara Kamler, Guido Melo, Jessica Chapnik Kahn, Leah Kaminsky, Magdalena Ball, Miriam Hechtman, Rachel Goldberg-Polin, Ruth Rosengarten, Sarah Sassoon, Sabine Huynh, Shoshanna Rockman, and Tali Lavi.

Join us at 3pm every Sunday at Goldstone Gallery for a powerful live performance:
🎪 Hope in a Post Nova World — a contemporary circus work by Talia Sofizade, followed by a Q&A and casual conversation.
Born from the trauma of October 7, this moving work holds chaos and resilience in the same breath — the bomb shelters, protests, and diaspora grief, but also the unbreakable thread of survival.
The piece acknowledges both Palestinian and Jewish pain, and without flattening the narrative, seeks to speak to the humanity that endures despite violence. It is at once a mourning and a reaching out — a visceral response to loss, identity, and the longing for a future beyond survival, where all may live and thrive.
Talia fuses movement, poetry, and music into a breathtaking performance — part mourning, part reaching out, part hope for a future beyond mere survival.
This performance is part of October 7: Atrocity, Antisemitism and Resilience, Australia’s first comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the two-year anniversary of the Hamas invasion of Israel.
ENTRY is FREE.
Thursday 20 November 2025, 7:00 – 8 pm
