Hillel at UCLA – ARTIST TALK: ROOTS NON-VIOLENCE

Please join us on Tuesday, October 23rd, 7-9 PM for an Artist Talk with renowned photographer and peace activist Saskia Keeley who will discuss her exhibit: Roots Non-Violence

Over the past two years photographer, Saskia Bory Keeley partnered with Roots, an initiative led by a Palestinian and Israeli settler committee who works at the heart of the conflict in the West Bank.

Saskia conducted photo workshops for Orthodox Jewish Israeli and Palestinian women who would otherwise have no contact. An important part of the program was to develop photographic skills (20 good-quality DSLR cameras were purchased and donated to Roots for this purpose.) Just as essential was the opportunity for women “from the other side” to interact in a daily setting, many for the very first time in their lives.

Event supported by Hillel’s Patrons of the Arts. Co-presented by The Pico Union Project, The Dortort Center for Creativity in the Arts and Hillel at UCLA.
