Tales of Co-existence. The Invisible Bridge. Borderland in Western Galilee (28.11-4.12.2019)

The inspiration for writing this letter was the journey of the team of Borderland to Western Galilee, in January 2016, or in the month of Sh'vat 5776, or in the month of Rabi al-Awwal 1437... So it happened in the middle of winter, in the New Year for Trees, and the first spring. Above all, however, we travelled to the people and Community of the Bridge.

Saturday morning is warm and sunny. And calm, unlike all previous mornings in the Village of Bridge Builders. And during the last, common breakfast, instead of loud talks and children outshouting each other, there is just nervousness. Tension.

- Now close your eyes and not a word. Today we are going to be silent. A lot. Trust the silence and me, I will guide you through the ritual and all our workshop. Only the person holding the stick can speak. Listen to yourselves - says Jacek Bożek. A large group sits in a circle on the pier.

Citizens of today’s multicultural societies are able to build material bridges utilizing mind-boggling technologies, but are often helpless in the face of the crisis of relationships based on invisible bridges. 

Tale Workshop The Workshop will be dedicated to two great archetypes, symbols of our culture, the concepts the have accompanied Borderland's work since the beginning: the Bridge and Other - Alien. The sessions will include author's meetings, seminars and lectures referring to the cultural meanings of the myth of Medea and the significance of the icon of the bridge. Participants, by recalling personal

experiences of the transition and by creating emotional bridge maps and exploring the elements of ritual, will create their own story of "The Invisible Bridge". The Workshop will be conducted by Krzysztof Czyżewski and take the form of workshops, seminars and lectures.
