Chinese philosopher Zhuang Zhou\u2019s<\/div>\n<div>Sounds\/Voices of the Earth Liat Dror and Nir Ben Gal\u2019s Residency<\/div>\n<div>program invites artists and or scholars of the humanities to spend time in<\/div>\n<div>the border town of Sderot, Israel that is located a few kilometers away<\/div>\n<div>from the northern border of the Gaza strip in order to discover, research<\/div>\n<div>and get to know the place for all its intensities, aches and inhabitants.<\/div>\n<div>This &#8211; in an attempt to see how this volatile complexity &#8211; with its entire<\/div>\n<div>range of various populations &#8211; is influenced, shaped by and made even<\/div>\n<div>more extreme by Neoliberalism, which has over this past half a century<\/div>\n<div>turned human suffering into highly profitable markets, devoid of any<\/div>\n<div>compassion and laid bare for the world to see. Famine epidemics, war<\/div>\n<div>and climate disasters have become the basic commodities of this<\/div>\n<div>economy which has placed the manufacturing and concentration of<\/div>\n<div>wealth in the hands of a few above and most of the time in complete<\/div>\n<div>contradiction of human rights, social justice, sustainability, community,<\/div>\n<div>humanity, and love.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In sharp contrast with this hegemonic economic and social order<\/div>\n<div>\u2018residing\u2019 entails opportunities, places and moments, whereby people<\/div>\n<div>can loosen the stranglehold of corporations over their lives, thus<\/div>\n<div>bypassing their dependence on corporations for the acquisition of food,<\/div>\n<div>health, security and &#8211; perhaps more essentially &#8211; a local culture, a<\/div>\n<div>common way of life. Not such that is manufactured overseas, consumed<\/div>\n<div>as entertainment and which produces separation between people, but<\/div>\n<div>such that weaves together the local inhabitants, since it truly belongs to<\/div>\n<div>them. Such which comes into being from simply being, out of flow, out of<\/div>\n<div>finding the wondrous in the daily. In the gaps. Such that emerges on its<\/div>\n<div>own in exactly the same way in which a piece of land free from the yolk<\/div>\n<div>of corporations can knows how to yield infinite abundance.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The program provides a residency of a few days to a few weeks<\/div>\n<div>depending on your needs.
