DANCE PEACE
Keren Farago and Ashkan Roayaee

On Saturday,
January 1, 2022, the Givat Haviva Shared Art Gallery will open a joint exhibition inspired
by the world of dance and born of dialogue between two artists who met and
communicated on social networks. Keren Farago is an Israeli artist who
embroiders and writes in black ink on a background of pages from old books from
the worlds of Hebrew poetry, plants and geographical maps; Ashkan Roayaee is an
Iranian photographer who left Iran by way of Turkey and settled in Houston,
Texas, and produces meticulous studio photographs of dance and dancers.
Farago, a
former dancer who follows dance photographers on Instagram, discovered
Roayaee's photographs, began drawing from them and as a result, they began to
follow each other; Roayaee, who was moved by the fact
that an Israeli artist draws his photographs against the background of Hebrew
texts, told Keren that he is Iranian. The mutual inspiration and great love for
the world of dance as well as the fact that they both incorporate several forms
of art in their work, contributed to the development of the relationship, their
work and the mutual influence that grew stronger over the two years of global
Covid crisis.
The
exhibition Peace Dance is currently running simultaneously in Houston, Texas (https://www.instagram.com/p/CW6ePhBM-mP/?utm_medium=share_sheet) and in Israel, with certain pieces featured
in both, but most of the works are divided between here and there; Two exhibitions that together form a joint
exhibition that is displayed simultaneously on two different continents.
The
exhibition(s) seeks to open boundaries that exist between people, countries,
cultures, thoughts and feelings, and let the dance world lead us into the broad
spectrum of possibilities between unity and separation, similarity and
difference, war and peace, on the basis of respect and cross-fertilization of
ideas. In the exhibition spaces, a 'safe space' is created between two
seemingly enemy countries, which can in this way stand side by side and
sometimes within each other, in a harmonious way.
Peace Dance is
asking you to Dance Peace.
