Social activism is a part of our agenda as artists and leading ceramists have initiated a project to support the needs of refugees.  Ceramic artists have donated bowls made specially for this fund-raising event.   The money from the sale of the  bowls and the soup made by the Joz and Loz restaurant will be donated to buy food for refugees.

You are invited to participate in this event.

Saturday 29/12/12 between 16:00 and 19:00 in the garden of Joz and Loz and Rahel O.

Entrance from 51 Yehuda Halevy Street, Tel Aviv

10:30   Donkey at the Benyamini Center – the idea and motives behind the exhibition

Revital Ben-Asher Peretz | A curator of contemporary art, former student of Lidia Zavadsky, graduate of the Department of Ceramic Design at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem (1995). Her curatorial work focuses on consolidation of artistic action groups combining artists and non-artists from various disciplines, who experience a common process over time.

11:15   Between Pottery, Art and Psychoanalysis

Itamar Levy | A psychoanalyst, writer, lecturer, art critic and curator, Levy was cast for the role of the exhibition’s “ceramicist.” He regularly attends an afternoon pottery class, maintaining the inevitably binding status of “amateur.”

11:45 Break

12:00 Donkey Time – Screening of the film by the director Yahin Hirsch

An unusual view of the image of the donkey in Israeli society.  Through the donkey and its physiology we gain insight into the place it fills in history, literature and culture.
