This art exhibition by Jewish Artists for Palestinian Liberation calls Jews and our communities to bear witness to the on-going devastation in Gaza and the West Bank by the Israeli government. Art features sculpture, video, ceramics, painting, prints, quilt, and participatory art.

Opening Reception + Artist Talk: Thursday May 28 6-8, Artist Talk at 7pm. 

Other event information coming soon. 

Examples of artworks: 

Golem – ceramic sculptures. In Jewish Eastern European culture, golems provide protection from antisemitism. Golem began after a multi-faith delegation to Palestine. In August 2024 the artist traveled along with Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims who were hosted by Sabeel, a Palestinian Christian liberation theology organization. 

Kriah/Tearing - sculpture with video explores grief and solidarity through an ancient Jewish mourning ritual practice.

Stitched in Solidarity- a group quilt project, received fourth place at the MN State Fair 2024. Over fifty textile artists made squares or pieced together the images. 

Artists come from Olam Haba, The World To Come community. Funding possible through Jewish Voice for Peace.
