For Adi’s final project, she created a drawing of each of the pairs!

The Artsbridge Gala Art Show was beautiful, moving, and very powerful. I will let the images of the student artwork and their final projects speak for themselves! I have created an individual post for each Palestinian/Israeli student pair – showing their finished piece as well as sharing the narratives that they wrote to accompany the art piece. Stay tuned for their individual posts which I’m working on now:)
Enjoy!

Here are a few more shots of the pairs as they work on their final art projects. Tomorrow is their last day to work on the projects so it will be a real “crunch” day! They’re all coming along very well though, and they can hardly wait to share the pieces at the Gala this Thursday! Hope to see you there…

The Israeli and Palestinian pairs are hard at work on their final collaborative pieces, which will be included in the Show this Thursday! We’ve taken to calling it “studio crunch time” as the teens have been spending longer and longer hours in the studio!

It is a fascinating and intense process to watch unfold. Some of the pairs have been working smoothly (almost as one artist) from day one, while others have had many starts, stops, and revisions as they continue their dialogue and artist process. There have been some tears, some anger, but above all: growth and a shift, no matter how subtle. I am incredibly proud of their processes and the heart behind their work. I wanted to share a few pictures of the students over the past few days as they continue their projects.
