Free Tour Every Saturday, ART & HUMMUS - MUSLALA

Print

Located on the seam between East and West Jerusalem, Musrara was established in the 19th century as one of the first luxury neighbourhoods outside the walls of the Old City. In 1948 the border between Israel and Jordan split the neighbourhood in half. Musrara became a dangerous place with military posts, snipers and patrols on both sides. After the 1967 war the border was removed from the heart of the neighbourhood but years of negligence and violence in the streets of Musrara gave birth to the Israeli Black Panthers movement with their roar for equality and justice. Today the roar still echoes throughout the neighborhood, as a meeting place of people from various backgrounds and eclectic views who share a turbulent history and a fascinating present.

During the tour you will meet different Musrara residents and hear their unique stories, see hidden artworks and learn about the rich history of the neighborhood.

All the guides are artists and Jerusalem residents who combine their passion for the city with their artistic approaches - a guarantee of an unforgettable experience. 

About Muslala?                        

Muslala is an ongoing art-project based in Musrara neighborhood. It offers a unique insight on modern Jerusalem, its complexity and culture through the eyes of contemporary urban-artists. We believe that art can have a major role as a mean of communication, offer different points of view and change the way we understand our surroundings.The art works change periodically, offering a different experience and encounter with each visit.
