The visit to Israel offered a diverse exploration of the country’s artistic life—visual, historical, Arabic, Jewish, Palestinian, and more. Most of the meetings took place in artists’ studios or homes, creating an intimate and comfortable setting for conversation. This approach also allowed guests to experience the artists’ lifestyles and the environments in which they live and create.
