Interdisciplinary Course, Art and Activism in the Public Space, Bezalel Academy of Art and Design (2004-2018)
In 2004, Shouker initiated an interdisciplinary course, Art and Activism in the Public Space at Bezalel. For its first two years, at the height of the disengagement from the Gaza Strip, course participants were active in the nearby city of Sderot, [iii] and later the activity was transferred to Jerusalem.[iv] Over the years students created more than 40 projects in collaboration with residents and communities in West and East Jerusalem. In 2007 students worked with residents of the Katamonim/Gonnenim neighborhood in West Jerusalem and successfully altered the plan of the Jerusalem Municipality to pave a four-lane road inside the neighborhood, a park was created instead, to the benefit of the entire neighborhood. Students in the course also worked with residents and participated in community activism to create art in the public space, to advance the idea of the park. Activities included: The Green Stain, The Hedgehog Route, Bringing Down the Wall, and more. In 2013 the struggle achieved its objective and the Train Track Park was inaugurated, alongside the old railroad tracks, whose foundation stone had been laid by the students and residents in 2008. In 2015, following a request from the students to the lecturers in the course, the students established a planning group comprised of residents and municipal employees, and with municipal funding created the Reading Station (a book-swap library that is open 24/7) in the German Colony. One year later a Reading Station was established in the Katamon/Gonnenim neighborhood, and in 2018, following joint planning by the students and residents of the Beit Safafa Arab neighborhood, a third Reading Station was established there. Other projects which emerged from the course include: Gebata, Local Hero, The Public Housing Protest (2006 and 2011), Opinion Plaza, Issawiya Playground, Experimental Film Workshop at the Promise School in Shuafat, The Tools we Have Together at the Mevasseret Absorption Center, Egged Our Way, 100% Support with Creativity. With Art. With Culture, and more.
