פרטי האירוע
We invite you to the opening of Galia Chai's exhibition - the dolls from Khan Al-Akhmar.
Teacher Yael Moab and psychologist Anat Sheral from our group "Friends of the Jahalin" joined the artist Galia Chai and together they founded "Loeva Hilva" (a beautiful doll) a female empowerment project that has been taking place in Khan al-Ahmar since November 2018, and is partnered by women and girls from the Ha tribe 'Hallin. The project is a creative framework established with the aim of providing the partner women with a source of income, emotional support and a sense of self-esteem while doing something creative and enjoyable.
In a collaborative effort, the Khan's wives create Bedouin dolls dressed in embroidered dresses and all proceeds from their sale go to the creators (except for a small amount used to buy raw materials).
The project strengthened the position of the partner women within the community…
