The program was a week long artistic experimentation with the notion of the art of invitation or art as an invitation and participatory art. Who do you as an artist invite? how do you invite them? why do you invite them? where do you invite them? What do you want to share with them.​

The program included a series of public and closed workshops, performances, interventions and conversations.

The projects touched on subjects such as unofficial history, gentrification, personal urban narratives, cultural translation, stereotypes and placemaking.

This program was the result of a tandem exchange program titled “Participatory Strategies for Mixed Neighborhoods” in Lod and Neukölln that was supported by a grant from the Stiftung Deutsch-Israelisches Zukunftsforum.
