Israel Palestine Galleries
About
One of the principal elements of Reflect Empathy's approach is raising awareness about global crises through the power of words and art. Given the current, tragic Israel-Hamas war, we will be hosting an art gallery and auction with the works of artists from Israel, Palestine, and the United States, with the idea of shedding light on the experiences of affected people. Due to the intense polarization evoked by this situation in communities, we want to create an experience with the intention of raising awareness, through art from diverse perspectives. We plan to rent out a gallery spaces in Los Angeles, and utilize a virtual art gallery software to showcase work.
