WE - Festi-Conference for Creative Collectives

Valley of the Cross, Jerusalem

This is the second consecutive year in which WE brings together groups of artists from Israel and the world to create collaborative actions in Jerusalem: an international summit for collectives and an open festival that showcases their unique ventures. Participants: The Zik Group / New-Barbizon Group / Indie Gallery / Giraffe Meat / Pandora / Ma'agal Yozrim (Creators Circle) / Mikanvahala (From Here on Out)/ 60 Ribo (Tenfold) / Preston is My Paris (Manchester) / Action Club (New York). Additional participants: Graduates of We 2012 / New Media Salon / Co. Co. Collective: Urban Safari And many more... Artistic Directors: Leo Liberman and Rotem Rozental. We 2013 continues to examine models for communal action in Israel and the world, as well as the inherent tensions that exist between identity and site. The event invites collectives to cast content into an existing space in Jerusalem, which exceeds its presence as a meeting point and becomes a vital participant in the event. The festi-conference will host workshops, performances, installations, discussions and tours from morning to night. This year's location amalgamates local histories and conflicted viewpoints: based in a local Scouts troupe, a youth organization that focuses on working within the community and was initiated by the Zionist movement in early 20th-century Palestine; overlooking the Valley of the Cross, the location from which, according to tradition, the tree for Jesus's cross was taken from. Today the area houses various youth movements, a monastery, the Israel Museum and a residential neighborhood.
