Dr. Zoe Bray, visiting fellow at the European Forum of the Hebrew University, has been asking this question in Jerusalem (Israel-Palestine). In 2017, through an invitation to participate in the Roundtable Residency Research East Jerusalem led by Anat Litwin, she has been investigating the possibility of developing Litwin’s idea of urban artist-run residencies (UARRs) in the specific context of East Jerusalem, characterized by continuing nationalist, ethnic and religious clashes.
