Graffiti and Street Art in Jerusalem

But, as the sun sets and the peddlers close the stalls and shops’ blinds, a whole world of colorful street art is revealed, incorporating famous Jerusalemite figures from both past and present.

We’ll learn the differences between graffiti and street art, hear about how the market became a nightly street museum and find the connection between the artists and their art to the Jerusalem experience; through the inspiring characters, alleys, stories, the market’s nightlife and the encounter with a complex and unique human mosaic.
