Sunday, January 25: Bethlehem Children’s Art Display
Orchard Ridge UCC, 1501 Gilbert Road, Madison1:30 – 3 pm
Children of Bethlehem presents the experiences of 12-13 year-old Palestinian Muslim and Christian youth living under military and colonial occupation in Bethlehem. Four generations of people in Palestine-Israel have only known life under these conditions. How does that influence the current generation of children? What does that mean for these future leaders? Photographs of hand-drawn self-portraits paired with voiced personal experiences express the daily life, emotions, fears and dreams of Bethlehem’s youth at this pivotal time in their lives.
Program also includes children’s read-aloud & craft project with Read Palestine, and brief updates on the impacts of occupation on children from Playgrounds for Palestine-Madison and Palestine Partners. Light snacks and warm beverages will be served and the family-friendly event is free and open to the public.
Exhibit created by Creative Visions Foundation and Dar Al-Kalima School in Bethlehem.
