Seeing the Voices

Israeli jazz musicians Kobi Arad and Grammy winning clarinetist Oran Etkin invited visual artists to an electronic voyage music feat, a "happening" installation combining music and visual arts, utilizing and merging into existing exhibition. Shira Holder, Sky Kim and Antonio Bamoozie answered their call. |

#SukkahWood
Sunday, October 8, 2017 12PM - 4PM Inwood Hill Park (215th and Indian Road, New York) Art Kibbutz is co-sponsoring Chabad of Inwood's Sukkah Wood a one day community arts festival. Artists and designers are commissioned to produce temporary dwelling art installations that stretch the imagination of what a Sukkah can be. According to tradition, a sukkah is a temporary hut in which the Jewish people dwelt to protect themselves from the elements. Sukkah Wood’s message of inclusion and tolerance is universal. It challenges us with questions like “What is a home?” and “How can it be connected to nature?” Art Kibbutz is represented by Asherah Cinnamon, Ali Schrago-Spechler, and Pinny Bullman. |
