Mekudeshet is proud to present: Feel Beit

A new culture port in Jerusalem – A gateway to artistic creation that dissolves boundaries

Mekudeshet is dropping the anchor, turning the lights on, and inviting open people from around the city and across the globe to climb ashore at Feel Beit, a new culture port in Jerusalem’s Abu Tor neighborhood. Feel Beit is opening now, in the midst of crisis and in adherence to government restrictions, to create new art that emerges from and responds to our changed reality. The artistic impulse cannot be stopped, and creativity must be allowed to illuminate the way through darkness, lockdown and pandemic. It is art’s time to lead. To take risks. To attempt things that may fail. To imagine new formats for our socially-distanced moment. To figure out how to touch the essence even when we can’t touch another person. Feel Beit offers a place to reconsider what we thought we knew about ourselves and about artistic creation. It aspires to be a refuge for creatives. A space that allows us to meet safely and, at long last, look deep into each other’s eyes.
