The project - Young Palestinian Artists - began as an independent initiative of Al Hoash that would be timed to coincide with the Jerusalem Show. However from the very earliest stages of the project it was clear that the project was ideal for a full partnership.
In April /May 2010 Al Hoash announced the project and invited young Palestinians Artists between the ages of 20 and 30 to send in proposals for work to be included in the show. The call for submissions went out in newspapers, magazines and websites and was advertised in universities and cultural centres in Palestinian cities and the Diaspora. 62 proposals were received by Al Hoash and assessed by a jury consisting of Rawan Sharaf Director of Al Hoash, Jack Persekian, artist Suleiman Mansour, Tina Sherwell, Samar Martha and Mai Hasager.A decision was made in June and eleven were chosen.
The work of these eleven young artists is now being exhibited by the four organisations listed above resulting in a perfect match of venues and work. For Rawan Sharaf:
This is a very good step for cultural work in Jerusalem. It helped us to join forces and resources and this makes us both stronger.
