Why Beirut Blues?

  • My first encounter with the Middle East was in Beirut. I now live in Ramallah and work in a Palestinian PR and media company. Personally I am worried about the distorted view and the collective imagery back at home of the Middle East and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in particular. My interest in Beirut Blues is therefore to spark the curiosity of friends and family on this part of the world, on which so much has been written but on which so often we lack to see the more human side to it.

zochrot exhibition space

Kolkorehweb




























Zochrot, a really fantastic organisation based in Tel Aviv, is preparing to open a space for critical work, aimed at a Hebrew-speaking audience, on the Palestinian Nakba. On the destruction of the smallest details of the society on whose remains we live. On all that relates that destruction to our life here now. On all that connects the silence regarding that destruction with the silence regarding the destruction of Palestinian lives now.


The space will consist of a gallery and a magazine. Zochrot invites contributors to send us poetry and prose, photography, paintings, video and essays, to be published and exhibited in our magazine and gallery.

Please send proposals for contributions by October 16, 2006 to Zochrot, 61 Ibn Gvirol St., Tel Aviv 64362, or by email to Norma Musih norma.musih@gmail.com or Tomer Gardi tomer_gar@yahoo.com. Please send copies of artwork as we are unable to return original materials.
