Keter Group and the Peres Center for Peace and Innovation opened a new exhibition on March 24 titled “The New Shape of coExistence,” featuring carefully selected artwork from across the Middle East and beyond.

The exhibition has been launched as part of an ongoing collaboration between Keter and the Peres Center for Peace and Innovation. Last summer, they issued an open call for artists and designers to take part in a visual art project on the theme of peace, co-existence, innovation and the connections between them.

Around 400 artworks were submitted. A selection committee headed by the artist Ilana Gur eventually chose 30 artworks now on display in concrete-like holders, part of Keter’s “Beton” series. Each display holder contains the exhibited artwork, alongside the details of the artist and the country he or she represents.

The exhibition includes works by well-known artists such as Noa Fein and Keren Farago, who collaborated with Iranian artist Ashkan Roayaee.

Meanwhile, the sustainable art collective “Bless Your Hands” includes the work of 40 Israeli and Jordanian female artists alongside works by young design students from Israel and abroad, for whom this is their first public project.

The exhibition, opened to the general public at the Peres Center’s plaza in Jaffa, is free of charge with no pre-registration required.

Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said: “After years in which sites were neglected or looted, Israel is making historical corrections.”
Using this phrase against Israel is no less absurd than labeling sport-hooliganism and violence at mass demonstrations in the West as officially sponsored, government-sanctioned violence.
“Nearly eight years after the shooting, our gratitude and admiration for the heroic bravery and selfless dedication of the first responders that day endures,” said U.S. Attorney Troy Rivetti.
Yitzhak Ben-Hebron escaped Arab riots as a child and later returned to rebuild the Jewish community in the city.
Army Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers III said that future conflicts will require allied special operations forces to integrate quickly and operate with compatible systems.
“The strength and resilience you and your families demonstrate throughout the recovery and rehabilitation process inspire the entire nation of Israel,” the IDF chief said.
