The Israeli Center for Digital Art will present The Mobile Archive in the KunstHause Baselland as part of the exhibition IM DREISPITZ, collaboration with Culturescapes, Switzerland, curated by Sabine Schaschl. The exhibition opens on Sunday, September 18th.
The Mobile archive’s exhibition will include Michael Zupraner’s HEB2 project and B’Tselem Video project.
On September 25th, Eyal Danon, director of the Israeli Center for Digital Art, will talk about the Mobile Archive Project, its connection to the activities of the Israeli Center for Digital Art and about the decision to invite the archives of the B’Tselem Video Project and HEB2 to be part of the exhibition.
Mich’ael Zupraner, co-founder and artistic director of HEB2, will discuss his experience living and working in H2 Hebron, the selections he has made for the exhibition, as well as show some of the project’s most recent output.
Ehab Tarabieh, B’Tselem camera project coordinator, and Iyad Haddad, a field researcher and citizen journalist for B’Tselem, will introduce B’Tselem’s pragmatic model of citizen journalism and the different ways it uses video to encourage legal accountability, influence government policies and spark a debate in a conflicted society.
They will screen various examples of footage filmed daily by volunteers from all over the West Bank and Gaza, ranging from cave dwellers in South Hebron who film clashes with settlers, to citizen journalists’ footage documenting the popular protest against the building of the separating barrier in Bil’in. Mr.Haddad, who works in the Ramallah area and follows the protests closely, will screen some of his own footage.
The CDA's archives are operating with the support of the Ostrovsky Family Fund and Artis
