Backgammon Art for Peace

Israel - a country known for its love for backgammon - most recently celebrated its 60th birthday. To commemorate the nation's birthday, a special exhibition is being held at the "Martin Luther King jr. Memorial Library" in Washington DC.

"The Reconciliation Exhibition" showcases 60 creations from artists who have turned backgammon boards into artistic objects. These objects carry a beautiful message emphasizing the importance of reconciliation as a starting point for the process of understanding and patience towards fellow man.

One of the main attributes of this exhibition of artistic backgammon boards is that it presents a fascinating cross-section of present-day Israeli artists. Also it is constructed as a "suitcase exhibition" designed especially for mobility. Each box contains additional photographs and material about the artists and their creation and in fact, the backgammon box acts as a "pocket exhibition" for each artist.

May the prayers of the artists for peace come true and this sign of reconciliation will prophesize peace and tranquility among the Middle East as well as all nations worldwide.
