A Thousand Words
If a picture paints a thousand words then the exhibition at Jaffa Port last week wrote a novel.
Forty-one Palestinian Artists brought more than 150 works of art, paintings, imprints, sculpting and pottery to the Israeli public eye in an exhibition entitled: “Jaffa Salon of Palestinian Art”.
These artists are from Israel, the Palestinian Authority and the Jordanian Kingdom. They represented two generations known and prominent alongside novel aspiring hopefuls.
This exhibition is the first step towards a framework, which will increase exposure to Palestinian art giving the Israeli public and art collectors an opportunity to dialogue with Palestinians on an art and cultural level. The exhibition launched three weeks ago showed the finale on 29 May 2010, last Saturday night.
It was refreshing to see an attempt towards reconciliation and social understanding between the two nations.
