Kunsthalle Wien, Museumsplatz 1.JUMANA MANNA The young Berlin- and
Jerusalem-based artist is best known for her
feature-length film, entitled A magical sub-
stance flows into me, which necessitated
travel throughout Israel and Palestine to

mentary on the “oriental” music of the

a series of new vase-like sculptures. To May 1.

ing industry but quickly becomes an allegory
for migration, exploitation and so much more.
