Artalk – do 30. 5. / Open call: Light for Palestine

19. 4. 2024Artalk Infoservis

We would like to invite all artists around the world to join us in supporting Palestine with light and hope. Project Light for Palestine of artists Yara Abu Aataya, Marie Tučková, Arnošt Kasal and David Vrbík is a light installation calling for a ceasefire and an end to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The event will take place in Prague in April 2024 at place historically linked to a number of political events and statements. Exact location and date will be announced soon.

The strip of light symbolizes piety and a plea for help. Through its luminous language and symbolism, the installation becomes a memorial for lost souls and a living expression of the desire for understanding and compassion. The light inspires viewers to reflect on the genocide in Gaza. The installation includes a space where people can come together to share. Encouraging international action, the project provides other artists with the possibility of bringing their own light to cities around the world, fostering a chain reaction of hope and solidarity.
