The second group of participants (design students over 17 years old) will illustrate the written stories in the form of comics. Finally, the third group (students aged between 12 and 16 years old and their educators) will reinterpret the previous workshops’ stories and comics using shadow theatre and animation.

Counter Montages: Theoretical and Practical Workshop around the Moving Image Artist Javier Toscano 29 November–7 December Age group: 17+ Place: the Palestinian Museum The rendering of meaning for the moving image involves a semantic structure in which the camera, the person portrayed, and the viewer make up the key edges on a given triad. This principle makes it possible –and desirable– to explore different strategies of interpretation that dislocate, reassign, adjust or simply overflow the semantic codes that stabilise the usual readings for the images that inhabit our environment, in order to reconfigure principles of identity and structural understandings that manage to affect the socio-political plane at a variety of levels. This workshop is divided into two parts. The first includes collective exercises of categorization and hierarchization to treat visual materials so that they can acquire an archive value, in this case with entries that try to respond to a tactical sensitivity and to a multiplicity of perspectives of a specific social incidence. In the second part, the participants will construct creative readings through strategic appropriations, which would end up being punctual comments on that reality that is constructed at the very moment in which its meaning is transmitted and decoded: it is the event of montage as the foundation of a collective construction of reality. |

Presentation on the Results of the ‘Solidarity Revival’ Workshop Tuesday, November 13 | 14:30 – 16:00 Over the course of several days in October, ‘Solidarity Revival’ Workshop participants were introduced to the history of the Palestinian poster, how to read and analyze it, and examined the movement of international solidarity with Palestine and Palestinian solidarity with the oppressed peoples of the world through the medium of posters. The revolutionary environment in which the concept of solidarity with Palestine gained momentum in in the late 1960’s was powerfully expressed through art, and most effectively through posters that became compelling visual tools of recognition and support within an international network of solidarity. The revolution posters, particularly of Palestinian posters expressing solidarity with people in equal straits, declined as Palestinian need superseded dynamic expression of reciprocity with other oppressed peoples. The Palestinian Museum attempts, through art, to bring Palestine back to the arena of mutual solidarity. The participants will discuss and showcase the posters produced during the workshop, expressing solidarity with current crises and causes in Yemen, Syria, Venezuela, Africa, and other countries. The posters made during the workshop reflects participant’s opinions and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Palestinian Museum. |

Workshop on Art Direction & Image Making in Fashion Monday - Sunday, October 29 - November 4 | 10:00 - 18:00 Image-making does not exclusively address the photographic material but expands to other practices like visual identity, branding, storytelling, narrative building and concept development among others. Image-making in any line of practice of the creative fields, primarily entails applying strategies of art direction before employing specialized skills for the corresponding field. Art direction is a global process of creating a story or a concept for a fashion brand, collection, magazine, photo-shoot, film, art project or even visual merchandising. The workshop addresses the global methodology of art direction and image-making which can be applied to a variety of practices in the creative arts even if the main framework of this workshop is fashion image-making. Through practical projects (individual and in teams), theoretical lectures and presentations this workshop will immerse the workshop participants in the creative process, skills and methods of image-making and art direction. This workshop is designed for highly motivated students or professionals in the creative fields (visual artists, performing artists, designers, stylists, photographers, makeup/hair artists, editors, film-makers, art directors etc…). Profile of the workshop participant: - Professionals or students who have had professional, academic or personal experience doing work in the creative and communication fields (visual artists, performing artists, designers, stylists, photographers, makeup/hair artists, editors, film-makers, art directors, marketers…). - The participant must be at ease with manual work, experimenting and altering objects / garments / accessories / materials (no fashion design experience required!). - Participants should be highly motivated and fully committed for the entire period of the workshop. - It is preferable to have a working knowledge of InDesign and Photoshop but it is not mandatory. - It is very important to have a laptop and camera (DSLR, point-and-shoot or even a good mobile camera). |

On the other Side of Resistance: Representing the Implicit Fragility of Embroidery through Origami In partnership with Origami Palestine Friday, June 22| 16:00 – 18:00 Origami is the time-honored Japanese folkloric craft of creating precise visual details through the folding of paper into fully realized representations of earthly objects. This meticulous practice which requires the utmost of patience and vigor can find a correlative partner in the Palestinian tradition of embroidery. Still, notwithstanding its relation to embroidery, it is a fragile product since it is made of paper. This fragility puts the effort employed and the resulting displayed beauty at the risk of perishing under the effects of surrounding conditions. Although embroidery enjoys relative strength with the material it uses to come to life, and in its inherent nature symbolizes a correlation to resilience and sustainability, the socioeconomic conditions of Palestine where it is currently produced renders this art fragile and sensitive. The convergence and divergence between Palestinian traditional embroidery and origami will enable the Palestinian Museum us to use origami as an entry point to touch upon the embroidery concepts addressed in the Labour of Love exhibition. As we are taught the origami techniques, we learn to fold shapes imitating the Palestinian traditional embroidery patterns in a conceptual workshop that uses paper as a media available to children. This method aids children in the enhancement of their motor skills and mental development, to creatively and non-conventionally learn about Palestinian embroidery. |

Interaction with Oscar Murillo’s Artwork “the Institute of Reconciliation” In partnership with Silwan Club and the African Community Society Friday, January 26th, 2018 l 10:00 Sunday, January 28th, 2018 l 10:00 Location: Silwan Club in Ras el Amoud, Jerusalem Colombian artist Oscar Murillo, a contributor to the public program of the “Jerusalem Lives” exhibition, worked with young people from Jerusalem to execute his artwork, "The Institute of Reconciliation", thereby launching the Jerusalem branch of a project he has implemented in several places around the world. The artwork, which consists of a number of black paintings, goes beyond contemplation. The heavy, woven and torn black canvases, painted in black oil, make up sprawling installations that hang on strings or screens or metal. They reflect on the history of labour, trade, society, consumerism, and art. They provide space to view the city from an alternative collaborative perspective. We will complete what the artist started by inviting the children to interact with the work in novel artistic ways. These black paintings will be a space to create individual art pieces or interpret ideas of re-presenting the artwork. |
