48 artists of all disciplines will go into quarantine, alone or with one other artist, throughout January and February, in our studio in Jerusalem. (Yes, you can leave to sleep! So if you’re not from the area, do figure out a place to spend the night)
The Jewish tradition lists ways to receive and reach the Torah: “Kinyanei Hatora.” These universal 48 items are also our starting-off point for the artists’ projects. The list can be viewed at the end of this page. (There’s only one per artist, so first come first serve)
We are inviting any artist who wants to isolate for 48 hours of creation. Artists of all kinds are welcome, including -
Fine arts / Design / Performance Art / Poetry / Writing / Spoken Word / Sound / Music / Dance
Submission Deadline: January 14th 2021
Beginning of Quarantines: January 17th 2021
