The “Offering Reconciliation” Project
The MBI Al Jaber Foundation acquired a new piece of artwork for its offices: we successfully bid for a bowl created by Israeli artist Münz Rafi that bears an underlying message of peace and reconciliation.
The Parents Circle - Families Forum (PCFF), an organization of bereaved Palestinians and Israelis that promotes reconciliation, initiated the "Offering Reconciliation" Project, to spread their message of peace through the universal platform of art.
The organization invited 135 Israeli and Palestinian artists, sculptors and photographers to use a large clay bowl as a blank canvas onto which they could convey their message of reconciliation. Each bowl is unique and reflects the individual interpretation of the artist of the message of reconciliation, their personal narrative and what hope and peace in the Middle East mean to them.
All revenues from the sale of the bowls through an auction went towards ongoing educational activities in Israeli and Palestinian schools.
