“Kumzits” is a collaborative project that has taken shape between Jerusalem, Krakow and berlin. In Jerusalem, the exhibition features 4 participatory works alongside documentation of projects created for Kumzits public art program at the 30 Jewish Culture Festival in Krakow. In the participatory works, the artists are present in the gallery while the public is invited to take part in an artistic action of healing and processing a personal and collective memory.

In these days of political and social uncertainty, “Kumzits” is an invitation for an open creative gathering, conversation, encounter, and even taking a stand.
