Human in Active Gallery
A few weeks ago, with the events in Israel, I felt A strong need to share an Aravrit word. I wanted to choose one that would share a message of hope within the impossible situation.
HUMAN, was the word I chose. Soon after posting it, hundreds of people shared it. They resonated with the message, and Aravrit served as a vehicle to articulate what they believe in.
This is probably Aravrit’s magic: it creates one individual experience. Not of a group, a party or an organisation. It talks about life around you: your street sign, your favorite hummus joint, a mural. It offers a puzzle: something that looks like words but you can’t really understand it until you take a closer look.
By the time you read it (a matter of seconds) you feel accomplished and want to show it to your friends and see if they can read it too.
The dailiness of Aravrit is what I was thinking of, when Michal from 3X3 Active Gallery asked to exhibit HUMAN in their street-facing gallery.
HUMAN, is a part of a three-window exhibition, facing a street in Tel Aviv. Being a part of the street, reacting to the street.
I’m humbled to have Aravrit displayed next to Dani Karavan’s words (designed by Rotem Cohen Soaye) and Neil Cohen‘s work.
If you are around, come check it out. On display until July 31.
