In times when hearts are heavy and reality is fractured — it is precisely then that culture is measured by its power to respond and build resilience.
A cultural-artistic initiative that documents, expresses, and acts toward healing and hope.
Art that cares.
There are many ways to be part of this movement - even from afar. Support us in connecting people, raising awareness, and fostering healing and restoration. You can sponsor a spot in our programs, invite artistic awareness events, share our story, and help create international human connections. Every gesture makes a difference, allowing us to continue creating, inspiring, and building meaningful relationships worldwide.
Here’s how to stand with us.
Collective trauma calls for collective healing.We believe that culture can be a driving, shaping, and healing force.
“Then what are we fighting for?”
— Winston Churchill
When asked to cut cultural funding during wartime, this was his reply.
Not out of sentiment — but from a deep understanding:
If we lose culture, we lose ourselves.
A call to support a cultural-artistic-social initiative
They used to say: “When the cannons roar – the muses fall silent.”
We say: Now more than ever, the muses must speak up.
Like Nina Simone to human rights,
Joan Baez to the song of peace,
Bob Marley to justice and equality around the world.

Why Now?
To preserve and document the spirit of days that words cannot contain.
01
To create space for grief, for hope, and for resistance — through art.
02
To place art at the forefront of communal and national resilience —
as a force that connects, holds, and heals.
03
To create a space for emotional closeness —
in the face of a global reality marked by fear, fragmentation, and division.
Art here doesn't just aim to deliver a message — it asks to open the heart.
04
Because collective trauma calls for collective healing —
art allows us to gradually return to routine, to human connection, and to hope.

Where do we come in?
Action 1
Documentation
Preserving the Tradition of Testimony — for the Collective Jewish Memory
Judaism has endured, even through centuries of diaspora, because of its powerful commitment to storytelling:
the story of the Exodus, the story of the Holocaust… and now, the story of October 7th.
We have a duty to document.
A duty to tell the story.
A duty to ensure that future generations remember.
There is no more powerful way to preserve memory and shape collective awareness than through art — through immersive, sensory experience.
Action 2
Advocacy
There is a performance — and a cultural action — that must be brought to the world and become part of Israel’s public advocacy.
Not political advocacy.
Not polarizing advocacy.
And not the kind that explains.
But a form of advocacy that generates profound human understanding —
emotional, sensory, embodied —
rooted in universal aspects of what it means to be human.
A kind of cultural expression that enables people to feel what it means to live — and to be — in Israel.
Action 3
Repair & Recovery
There is a deep need — and tremendous potential — for using art as a path to recovery from trauma.
As a tool for healing — personal and collective.
Art can serve as a rehabilitative force:
for individuals and their families, for communities, and for society at large.
Initiatives like these can shorten the time it takes to mend what’s been broken.
We are here to reflect — and to act.
To take a stand. To serve a purpose.
Where there is silence — we will create resonance.
Where there is fear — we will bring light.
This is not just art — it is a stand.
Art that cares.
We would be happy to connect, present, and explore opportunities for collaboration.
With deep respect,
Dana Sapir
