"Hope is an Action"
Fundraiser for InterAct (scroll down for details of how it works)
(1 of 3 sold.)
This Glass Cathedral diorama is 12 x 8 x 3" and hangs on the wall.
Through organisations like InterAct, Israeli Maoz Inon and Palestinian Aziz Sarah's vision is to use a dual narrative approach to learning and change, to generate critical understanding and deep empathy among war torn parties in conflict, and in the general public, that might lead to innovative solutions, and also notably, combat the rising tide of hatred and extremism.
In their words:
"I am Maoz Inon, I come from Israel and my parents were killed by the Hamas.
My name is Aziz Abu Sarah. I am from Palestine and my brother was killed by Israeli soldiers.
Our pain and sorrow has brought us together to work and dialogue to create a better future. We are entrepreneurs and we believe that peace is the greatest enterprise to be achieved."
