"Sunset Over Qalqiliya" (Video Installation)Wednesday, Sept. 28th - Sunday, Oct. 2nd
The joint exhibit will commence at the festival's "grand opening" wine & cheese gala on Wednesday, Sept. 28th at 7:30pm, and then run Thursday to Sunday from 1-4pm and 6-9pm each day. Earlier in the week, Danielle and Darren will both participate in a panel discussion entitled "Art, Activism, & Palestine" at Mondragon (91 Albert) on Tuesday, Sept. 27th at 7:30pm. Danielle Sara Frank seriously believes that art has the potential
to create social change. Her sculpture and video work has been
exhibited in North America, Europe, and Asia. After graduating
from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2003, Frank proceeded
directly to Israel/Palestine. There, she spent six months in the
West Bank documenting the devastating effects of the occupation
and working together with solidarity groups and Palestinian people
using tactics of nonviolent direct action. She is also one of the
organizers of the Three
Cities Against the Wall, an exhibition
developed by collectives in New York, Ramallah, and Tel Aviv that
will open simultaneously in all three cities in November 2005 and
feature artwork that takes a stand against the Wall. Danielle's
work, both in social justice and art, is driven by her faith in
the human will to resist domination. |
