Israel360: Virtual Tour: Impact through Art and Fashion on Sustainability & Social Justice

February 10, 2022 | 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Thursday, February 10, 8:00pm, on Zoom

Can art, fashion, and design make a change in the world? How can we use creativity as a tool to empower subgroups in Israel, and can these groups change and inspire the “Israeli mainstream”?

In this engaging program with Liraz Cohen Mordechai, we will virtually meet Israeli artists and designers who are dedicated to galvanizing minorities in Israel and strengthening Israeli society as a whole with their art and heart. This is a unique opportunity to dive deeper into Israeli culture and to learn about the different identities within Israel.
