Neighbors: Relations Between Arabs and Jews in Israel: Photographs by David Wells

Exhibition

Neighbors includes works by American photojournalist David H. Wells and was mounted in conjuction with "Israeli and Palestinean Identities in History, Literature and the Arts," a conference sponsored by the Thomas J. Watson Jr. Institute for International Studies. The earliest works in the exhibition, created in black and white, picture ordinary interactions between Jews and Arabs. More recent work, in color and done after the start of the peace process, explore daily life and the struggle for peace, particularly among the Palestinians. Series supported in part by a MacArthur Foundation fellowship.
