Unrecognized by Tal Adler in Jerusalem: at Barbur Gallery until the 3rd of February
Unrecognized, the artistic project by Tal Adler will be at the centre of an exhibition and a series of events at Barbur Gallery in Jerusalem.
The Unrecognized project, developed by Tal in collaboration with Love Difference, was born in 2003 when Bedouin fields in the Negev (Israel) had been sprayed with a toxic substance from the air, in a State-sponsored act. Tal Adler, photographer, artist, teacher and social-political activist, started to look into the matter and came face to face with the issue of the unrecognized villages and their inhabitants. Aware of the importance of public opinion in political processes, Tal Adler decided to start this project to trigger a social change. Trought a clever use of artistic media, educational and social tools, Unrecognized brings the story of the unrecognized Bedouin settlements to the attention of wider audiences forcing the political stakeholders to face the problem of unrecognised settlements and the issues it raises. Events in Jerusalem along the exhibition: screening of the film "The Film Class", by Rosenwaks Uri, 2006; meeting and workshop for Arab and Jewish women from different empowerment projects in the Negev and Jerusalem; the conferences “Why Unrecognized? An introduction to the story of the Bedouin in the Negev”; “Alsira, unrecognized village - A story of a small village and many evacuation notices”; “What can be done? The organizations who work in the Negev", participating village council's representatives, researchers, members from NGOs.
The exhibition will be open until the 3rd of February. go to the project
