Being a refugee in a globalized region reveals an open wound that reflects the indifferent face of Israeli society, born out of the same wound.
The exhibition seeks to examine who is a refugee in our country and show on the one hand, aspects from the refugee’s perspective, and on the other hand, the Israeli collective point of view. How is the strong drive to find a ‘safe harbor’ coping with fears, hopes and memories? Will the rush to a ‘safe harbor’ protect them from uncertainty and endless escape?
