Adam Adama

I’ve always admired the street exhibits that seem to proliferate in Tel Aviv, with sculptures and prints placed along the tree-lined boulevards of Rothschild and Chen.

image0015Now we can boast something similar in Jerusalem, with the Adam Adama exhibit of photographs by students from various Jerusalem schools, both Jewish and Arab, portraying their vision of Jerusalem.

image0016Sponsored by Hadassah College, the municipality and the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, the photographs are hanging along the pedestrian walkways of Schatz and Bezalel (named for the school, which is returning downtown from Mount Scopus) Streets in downtown Jerusalem. These car-less streets have been recently refurbished with cobblestone pavements and benches for easy sitting and viewing, and both Schatz and Bezalal boast two good cafes, Noni and Cafe Bezalel, so you can sip a hafuch, and enjoy some art in the shade.
