Shivtei Israel is a platform whose goal is to support Israeli artists who live in and outside of Israel. It wishes to discuss questions and ideas that occupy creative people nowadays, while exposing and revealing different methods of creation.
This platform aims to promote and connect artists from a wide spectrum of practices and career stages, encouraging collaborations and dialogue. Shivtei Israel wishes to promote a conversation invested in locality, society and community in regards to creative acts, as well as to raise major issues in contemporary art.
This online project continues the physical showroom that was established in 2022 by Daria Uri Asseo, an artist and curator living in Israel and France. The showroom, which inhabited a former geriatric institute in Shivtei Israel street in Jaffa, was designed to be a space that advances new opportunities for artists of different backgrounds, media and styles.
