Duke Hosting Residency for Jewish and Arab Artists

Duke University is hosting five Israeli Jewish, Palestinian and Druze artists for a six-week residency aimed at developing understanding through the creation of artistic works from their unique and shared perspectives.

The artists, graduate students at Givat Haviva, The Center for a Shared Society in Israel, will engage with Duke students, create and exhibit art on and off campus, and visit arts venues and arts organizations throughout the Triangle region. 

The residency was organized by the Provost’s Initiative on the Middle East, an ongoing effort to make space in the Duke campus community for rigorous and respectful debate in which differing perspectives are welcome on current and past conflicts in the region, with support from the Office of the Vice Provost for the Arts and the Charles H. Revson Foundation.
