Eyes on Activism: Celebrating Social Change in Israel Through the Visual Arts
Join Kesher Enoshi: Progressives for Activism in Israel for a chance to engage with activism in the country through a photography and art exhibition representing activists working for social change. Many different movements will be represented, including LGTBQ rights activism in Jerusalem, environmental justice in Tel Aviv and many more. The gallery will also include original art inspired by social change movements in Israel and produced by the student activists of Kesher Enoshi.
This gallery portion will be followed by a presentation by Israeli-American photographer, artist and activist Nili Yosha, who will present her photo-project called "My Tel Aviv," an activist's reflection on the human side of Tel Aviv unseen by the eye of the tourist.
Sponsored by the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, the New Israel Fund, Hillel, YJ Impact Fellowship Program, and the Free Speech Movement Cafe Educational Program Series.
