The Cross Border Arts Project in Lebanon, Israel and Palestine Begins
On 16 July 2007, four Euro-Mediterranean artists - Florence Aigner, photographer, Belgium; Said Ait El Moumen, dancer, Morocco; Isabel Andreu Roglà, video artist, Spain; Secil Yaylali, visual artist, Turkey - and their coach, Marianne Cosserat, Belgium/France, began a month-long journey to one of the most difficult conflict areas in the world. They will travel to Lebanon, Israel and the Gaza Strip in an endeavor to explore the possibility of using artistic expression as a means of dealing with memories of conflict and war, on the first anniversary of the Summer 2006 War.
In each country the four Euro-Mediterranean Artists will meet local artists, setting up workshops with local youth and communities affected by the military operations in the area. At the end of the project, the produced work will be presented during an an international exhibition on the work of the Cross Border Arts Group, which will tour from Italy to France and the United Kingdom in autumn 2007 and winter 2008.
The partners involved in this project are: the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue Between Cultures; Literature Across Frontiers (United Kingdom); Solidarité Laïque (France); Goethe Institute Beirut (Lebanon) and Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto (Italy).
