Musrara (Hinanit) Photographs 1974-1979

 

The exhibition presented photographs by Eli Even (Abu): "Musrara (Hinanit) Photographs 1974-1979" alongside photographs by Asaf Elbocher: "Second Chance, 2012" Curator: Eyal Ben Dov. Eli Abu grew up in the neighborhood of Musrara and photographed it during the 1970s when he was a graphic design student (1974-79). The photos reflect a personal look on the neighborhood, observing the people of the neighborhood and the children playing in its alleys. It seems to be a simple realistic look at the reality in Jerusalem in the 1970s, but a dark side is exposed here, pointing to hardships, distress and pain. Asaf Elbocher, a young photographer and a Musrara graduate, joined Eli in his search for his "lost" friends and photographed them again with a more contemporary and fresh gaze. Opening: 29.3.12 at 19:00 Closing: 14.5.12
