The Jerusalem Season of Culture presents "Going Up": Reality & Art Alongside Route no.1
June 21-27
About:
This weeklong artistic event combines walking, creative expression, and human interaction as artist Guy Briller, who conceived of the project, leads 25 artists, social activists and intellectuals on a pilgrimage from the Neve Shalom communal settlement to Jerusalem. Throughout the pilgrimage, which will be documented and broadcast live on a website created specifically for this purpose, participants will engage in discussions about a range of social, cultural and political issues, as well as act and create in response to the spirit and inspiration of the discussions.

The basic premise of the project is that a journey by foot, when cast as an act of self-examination and a re-assessment of one's immediate surroundings, creates a space in which people of diverse backgrounds can forge meaningful ties and imagine a future beyond the confines of our current reality. And of course, the act recalls that Jerusalem has been, for thousands of years, a point of pilgrimage for Jews, Christians, Muslims and others. Or in the words of the project's initiators: in many ways, Jerusalem has always been a place that we are constantly trying to reach.
The pilgrimage will end in a communal tent which will be erected for 24 hours in Jerusalem-in which the artists will exhibit the work they produced during the journey.
