Hi, and welcome to the show.
I'm Nancy Guppy, coming to you
from a deeply thoughtful exhibit at A/NT Gallery,
which is located on the grounds of the Seattle Center.
Titled “Palestinians and Jews Working for Peace,”
this show features artworks from three different sources:
primary school students who live in Oasis of Peace,
a community near Tel Aviv where Palestinian
and Jewish families live peacefully with each other;
there are paintings from young children who live in Gaza;
and a few pieces from local artists.
The strength of this poignant
show is that it transcends politics.
It is a heartfelt human expression of sadness,
yes, but ultimately, and more importantly,
it's an expression of hope and of a yearning
and imagining of what's possible.
“Palestinians and Jews Working for Peace”
runs through the end of April, goes away for
May, and shows again June 1st through the 21st.
Hours and location are at antgallery.org.
