Shot on location in Israel, the Negev and Palestine during 2005-2006, Art & Apathy: Israeli Conscience & Culture is a journey through the world of political art in Israel, woven together through gorgeous visual and vocal compositions of courageous underground voices and mainstream artists treading the edges of controversial political conversations. Producers Habie & Shirazipourt contend it's important that both groups of artists feel safe to express their stories truthfully—each series stands alone, holding space for the artists and their creations, allowing the audience to draw their own conclusions about the relationship between Israel and Palestine.
