Room Number 4

Sun. Nov. 1st 1:30-3 pm First Unitarian Society (900 University Bay Dr.) Room Number 4 Exhibit – with Palestinean speaker, Sahar Abbasi Baidon, deputy director of Madaa Silwan Creative Center in East Jerusalem.  Sahar works directly with children who are arrested, and her interviews and research (“The Impact of Child Arrest”, a study published by Sahar and Dr. Kasahun) are the basis for the exhibit.  Room Number 4 is a photographic campaign prepared by Madaa Center and War Child Holland that illustrates the violations of Palestinian children’s rights in East Jerusalem. The 12 staged photos are accompanied by written testimonies from the children themselves. Room Number 4 is the name of the Israeli interrogation room at the Russian Compound Detention Center in Jerusalem. An additional 10 documentary photos of life in occupied East Jerusalem taken by Majd Ghaith will further demonstrate the violations of children’s rights from home demolitions to settler violence. Free and open to the public, donations will be accepted to benefit the Madaa Silwan Creative Center in hiring a psychologist to help these children.
