General:
Special social related art project created by Dana Dvorin and Keren Cohen Israeli.
Violence against women is a social phenomenon in Israel and across the world, every
year women are murdered, raped, humiliated and thrown to the streets, they are held
by force in communities with strict rules and only fraction of the stories becomes
public. The issue is marginalized and rarely gets the attention or resources which will
enable those women to exit the circle of violence in a way that they will be able to
support themselves in dignity without external dependency. The decision to join
forces with the national theatre of Israel, "Hacameri", is meant to integrate the
"unacceptable" with the most acceptable social, cultural and professional institute.
"Platforma in Hacameri" project will provide women home and sense of belonging, a
stage for personal expression and protest, a chance to make a real change in their lives
while learning and developing a carrier as independent women.
