The Musrara School of Art
The school was founded in 1986 in Jerusalem, Musrara neighbourhood. Musrara, perhaps more than any other place, symbolises the complexity of the Israeli experience: a neighbourhood situated at the divide between West and East Jerusalem, overlooking the walls of the Old City. Whilst Musrara is a model of successful neighbourhood renewal it still preserves memories of difficult absorption processes, discrimination, and the first authentic Israeli protest movement the Black Panthers. The school's activity takes place in the heart of the Musrara neighbourhood, in two buildings: a preserved historical building and a community centre of the neighbourhood. The Naggar School works within a framework of practice based research, taking into consideration the visual biographies and unique identities that comprise society in Jerusalem. The school is strongly committed to providing a socially engaged community based art programme that is sensitive and inclusive of the multicultural communities in Jerusalem, and in Israel.

Between Worlds
Harmonia (2016)
Sad Sarah, the harpist of the Jerusalem Philharmonic ,is married to Abraham the conductor of the orchestra. They have no children. When Hagar, a young horn-player from East Jerusalem joins the Western side Orchestra, Sarah’s world changes. The two women are irresistibly attracted to each other, developing a unique friendship that is challenged when Hagar offers Sarah to have a baby for her, from Abraham. When the baby is born, Hagar leaves the orchestra and the newborn child with Sarah and Abraham. Twelve years pass. Ben is 12, a phenomenal pianist, yet wild and uncontrollable. Ben resists all his mother’s (Sarah) efforts to impose discipline upon him. Something is wrong, he feels it deep inside. At the same time Sarah gets pregnant at her late forties, and gives birth to Isaac. When Isaac is 3, it is the right time for Hagar to return to the orchestra. The reunion of Hagar and Sarah is sweet yet sour. Ben was never told the truth about the way he was brought to the world. When the secret is reveled to Ben, an unexpected series of events lead to the fated ending. Harmonia is inspired by the biblical story from the book of Genesis, giving a feminine interpretation to the story of the “mothers” and their two half brother boys. By that, challenging the metaphoric origin of the historic clash between the two conflicted peoples, now seeking harmony through the world of classical music.
