Musrara Mix is a multi-disciplinary international event held in the Musrara neighborhood of Jerusalem since 2000, initiated and produced by the Musrara, the Naggar School of Art and Society. Musrara Mix serves as a focal point for artistic and social events that embody the cultural and political essence of Jerusalem in particular, and of Israel in general, while engaging with a central alternating theme each year.<\/p>\n
To get out of the loop we have to ramble.
\nSwitch between languages.
\nExplore different cultures and ways of life.
\nExtricate our thought from the arsenal of available possibilities.
\nDefamiliarize things so we can get to know them anew.
\nThe movement in the \u201cwandering\u201d space is not an axial or linear movement, but rather a curious meandering, without boundaries and in all directions. A continuous oscillation at varying frequencies, which leaves traces and at the same time collects impressions. The act of wandering breaks down the familiar, strips the journey off values \u200b\u200bof starting point and destination, and reveals hidden spaces.
\nOrdinarily, the Canada House, which houses Musrara \u2013 The Naggar Multidisciplinary School of Art and Society, \u201cdrifts\u201d between its various functions as a community center that hosts afternoon and evening classes, an adult day center, a youth center, offices, and an art school. Each of the communities that use the building has its own sound, rhythm, and scale, creating a complex harmony. Evidence of these different uses can be found in every corner: office-classroom-meeting room-studio-reception desk-recording studio. During the festival, the building\u2019s spaces are taken over and transformed into temporary exhibition venues. And so, the meeting room has turned into a breathing workshop boutique, and the classrooms are now noise pavilions and an opera hall. The hallway, corridors, stairs, and elevator, which usually serve as generators of transition, from place to place, are reformulated as a \u201cnon-place,\u201d a place of lingering and pause. The works featured in the festival are a type of traveling shows. Rest stops that provide solace and allow one to continue. They are fleeting in nature, like a melancholy tourist spectacle, a traveling circus tent.<\/p>\n
