Children of JerusalemChildren of Jerusalem: Painting Pain, Dreaming Peace

Art exhibit for the entire family

Zeum is proud to present in partnership with the Consulate General of Israel, the first U.S. presentation of this exhibition featuring artwork by Israeli and Palestinian youth over a two-year period.  The show celebrates the role of art in building a bridge between people and nations and reveals moving images of conflict but also aspirations of peace and collaboration expressed through children’s eyes and hands. The show is a selection of work from a program developed by Kitty Cohen and the Institute for the study of Religions and communities in Israel and has been shown in Jerusalem, London at the House of Commons, Geneva, and Manchester.
