CALLING YOU TO PARTICIPATE

In our annual exhibition

                  

 ב.ד.ד.

The exhibition will take place in the lobby of the Jerusalem Theater. The exact date will be announced later on.

The title of our exhibition is the Hebrew root of the word alone, lonely, loneliness. The coronavirus pandemic has challenged us with the need for social distancing, for staying at  home ,  locked down and isolated. Being alone and lonely has many aspects. The feeling of loneliness is very subjective and is not always the result of just being alone. The currant need to interact through transparent screens, unhappy relationships, unsatisfactory social ties, and feeling strange, distant, or different are all factors that influence the feeling of loneliness.
