Tell Me Your Story
Tell Me Your Story is a participatory art project featuring childhood memories of 20 artists.
By believing in the magical power of childhood stories to create a dialogue, 10 Turkish and 10 Israeli artists partnered and shared their childhood memories with their partners; then each artist painted their partner's story in their own unique language.
Tell Me Your Story includes colorful and emotional drawings and stories, takes us on a journey that connects us with ourselves and with each other from a familiar place, despite distances.
Beyond being a "memory", in the hope that childhood stories will stimulate our curiosity and lead to unexpected encounters...
