The Studio's mission is to empower religious women artists' voices in the public sphere while serving as a bridge between Jerusalem's diverse communities. SOHO's artists come from the myriad of Jewish religious backgrounds in Israel and are determined to persue a future within the arts. Our main objective is to advance religious women artists who recieve no support in their homes and communities and face significant obstacles when trying to enter the local art scene.
Our main projects target the artists group as well as our surrounding communities. Few examples include an embroidery project in cooperation with Palestinian women living in East Jerusalem, a public space art exhibition in the midst of an orthodox community, professional training and mentoring programs for women artists, art exhibitions in prominent venues in Israel, and more.
SOHO can contribute to the national network by taking part in network events, and hosting events in our studio. In addition, we can take part in local projects by other network members.
We believe that by joining the ALF network we can develop our contacts both in Israel and abroad. Through these, we can develop projects that can benefit our artists and communities, while promoting cross-cultural exchange with relevant, like-minded, associations and institutions.
