OFFERING RECONCILIATION
135 ISRAELI AND PALESTINIAN ARTISTS CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT OF RECONCILIATION ON BEHALF OF THE BEREAVED FAMILY FORUM
The "Offering Conciliation" Project, initiated by the Israeli Friends of the Family Forum presents to the public at large, the idea of reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians through Art.
Orna Tamir-Schestowits, a true friend, who initiated the Friends of the Forum, designed a large size clay bowl naming it the "Bowl of Reconciliation". 135 Israeli and Palestinian artists, sculptors and photographers created from this bowl (the common, unifying and connecting denominator) their interpretation of the intrinsic values of reconciliation: Each embarked on a personal journey of the reconciliation narrative of coexistence, pain, loss, fracture and fusion. Each one presents a unique offering of reconciliation, of peace and hope, Art instead of hostility The project encompasses an exhibition and a catalog. All revenues will be used to finance the ongoing educational activities in Israeli and Palestinian schools We would like to express our thanks for all the people who have been involved in this project. Orna Tamir- Schestowits and Daphna Zmora the curators, all the artists that donated so generously their creations and the members of the Family Forum. Meir Aharonson: the Head of the Museum, the employees of Harsa-Merchav of the Keter Group who produced the clay bowls and to all the wonderful people that participated in this inspiring effort Thank you to Mr. James Wolfenson for having the intrinsic vision to understand the message of our exhibition and for his generous donation which enables us to keep the exhibition together, and to spread the message all over the world.
