| 7/10/2017: In support of small commercial and artisan enterprises run by Jerusalemite women, and in an attempt at protecting and preserving the rich worth of the city of Jerusalem at all levels, the Palestinian Museum held a special bazaar that highlighted the artistic and artisan capacities and resources of Jerusalemite women. Over 600 people visited the bazaar, which aimed at getting the women to network and at introducing the Palestinian local community to their handmade wares. Visitors also enjoyed a distinguished musical performance by Al-Ghilan and Friends, a professional group from Jerusalem. Special areas of the museum were dedicated to various engaging activities and events for children, who learnt techniques for, moulding playdough and plasticine into cartoon figures and embarked on a fictional journey with a hakawati (narrator) who recited several tales inspired by Jerusalem. |
