Hinneni Art Project
The Hinneni (I Am Here) Art Exhibit is the product of a unique project that has taken place during May-October 2024 between 43 artists from the Hadera-Eiron region in Israel and artists from the Partnership communities in the Southeast U.S. and the Czech Republic, as part of an initiative to honor the lives of young individuals from Hadera-Eiron who were tragically killed during the Nova Festival massacre or in combat since October 7th.
Driven by a desire to honor the fallen, artists from Israel, the U.S., and the Czech Republic engaged in a continuous and meaningful artistic dialogue with the bereaved families. Many artists were paired with families, having personal or virtual emotional meetings to better know the fallen individuals for whom they created their artwork. These personal encounters fostered a connection that transcended cultural and geographical boundaries, inspiring the artists to produce heartfelt and powerful works of art.
