Arab contemporary art museum opens in Israel
Print Edition
ISRAEL’S first museum of Arab contemporary art opened on Wednesday with a mission to promote peace and with one exhibit literally featuring the glow of love.
Founders of the Arab Museum of Contemporary Art, a joint project in cooperation with the mayor of northern Arab-Israeli town of Sakhnin, said it aims to promote “peace and dialogue” in the troubled region.
An old Arab-style building nestled among greenery in Sakhnin in the Galilee region, which has a mixed Jewish and Arab population, houses the exhibits.
The opening exhibition, Hiwar (dialogue in Arabic), featured works from paintings to sculptures to video art, by dozens of local and internationally acclaimed artists.
A painting by Afghan-German Jeanno Gaussi entitled Moghul Dream displayed a historical-style south Asian landscape.
Outside, another work, a set of traffic lights connected to an electrical supply, read “Love” when switched to green.
