WALL\THERAPY is the name for this year’s mural project and beyond. This will also be the name for the mural projects that will accompany our philanthropic diagnostic imaging sites in the developing world. Essentially, what we are doing is a community-level intervention in the form of mural art in the public space. The walls are our vehicle for inspiring and rehabilitating our community. We are intervening visually to address a fundamental collective need of our citizenry, the need for inspiration. In addition and quite literally, the walls on which our “therapists” will paint are being resurfaced and rehabilitated…given new life and energy. Our inaugural project which took place during July 2011 was entitled “Visual Intervention.” Therefore, this year’s project will officially be known as “WALL\THERAPY…the second movement of Visual Intervention”

KNOW HOPE (The Abstract and the Very Real) is a film by Omer Shamir about art and resistance in a time when Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza.

The film follows Addam Yekutieli (aka Know Hope), a street artist known for his anonymous interventions, who is dealing with chronic illness. The anonymity of the hit-and-run street artist is replaced with intensive and intimate social interactions, exploring how personal and collective trauma can be transformed through art.
In this critical moment in history, this film shows the sickness of the land through personal stories of injuries and trauma caused by a century of colonization.

Free parking is available on the side of VSW, and there is ample free street parking available on and around King St. We ask that all attendees be respectful of the neighborhood when arriving and departing the screening.
