Program participants’ testimonies:

"At the residency in Givat Haviva, I met artists from fields completely different from mine, from backgrounds that I had not been exposed to before and not with such intimacy. I discovered different ways of working. It expanded my artistic world and also tested it. It enriched me and challenged me. I am happy for the opportunity I was given to get to know each member of the group and to live in Givat Haviva, to know that there is a place that dreams and works for a shared society." -    Ye'ela Barzilay

"I spent three months with men and women who are magical in their differences. Over time, we added to our artistic relationship a quality of friendship accompanied by sensitivity; this is probably what the soul is looking for, love, community and creativity. It is amazing to find freedom and personal space in a shared studio. I also received professional guidance from various artists, from dance through performance to plastic art - lots of artistic content, action, art and thinking about art." - Doaa Bsis

"The three-month stay in the residency has not only broadened my cultural horizons but also enriched my world view. Through the constant exchange in the group on site and also with the people in the country, I took away many positive aspects for myself. This cultural trip was an incomparable experience for me I will cherish forever, and one that will enrich me as a person and as an artist for a long time." - Timo Elmpt-Habel
