Kutlow Director of Development 760-492-1623 dkutlow@handsofpeace.org No No Dialogue through Art Each summer for three weeks, almost 50 Israeli, Palestinian and American youth come together in Carlsbad. Through dialogue and activities, they learn to listen to "the enemy," discover their common humanity, and raise their voices as leaders of change. The arts help the process of self-discovery and understanding, enabling the teens to share personal stories in creative ways. Working with professional artists at New Village Arts in Carlsbad , they express themselves and their hopes for a more peaceful future through small team mural projects. The murals will be exhibited at La Costa Canyon and elsewhere throughout the year. Project Start Date: 07/10/2019 Project End Date: 07/29/2019 500 700 What makes this project distinctive? What are the goals (outputs and/or outcomes) of the project? Hosting teens from Israel, Palestine and Carlsbad, we are uniquely situated to work with teens from across the world who wish to pursue peace, justice, and equality. Part of our participants' cross-cultural encounter is orchestrated through the arts. The results are evocative murals that leave the viewer with hope in the next generation. By exhibiting these murals at our events throughout Carlsbad, we hope to inspire the community about the bridging power of the arts. A main goal of this project is to encourage dialogue through the creative process. Participants must come to consensus on themes, symbolism, color and design and then work together with the help of local artists at the New Village Arts theatre to produce a final piece of art. A total of five large-scale (4'x6'+) murals will be visioned, designed and created by the American, Israeli and Palestinian teens. The murals will be exhibited at the culminating event of the program, the Farewell Celebration as well as displayed at local events throughout the year. Are there any partners participating in your Yes project? This would include non-staff artists, personnel or organizations other than the applicant who are an integral part of the project. Provide names and a brief description of roles of any partners in the project. Carlsbad New Village Arts Theatre -Six artists at the Foundry worked with Hands of Peace youth this past summer to create murals. We will partner with the theater again in 2019 to paint the murals.
