XY Chromo Zone: Hadar, Noun, Body, Being, Object

The sun's rays are beating down on the sphere of frozen time. The glamorous days of the streets of Hadar had already made a dream come true, and then went by, leaving behind moisture, stones that are soaked in events, and voices from the past, and echos echos echos, repeating themselves but never heard.
It doesn't matter whether I'm Arab, Jewish, Russian, Ethiopian, religious or secular. In any case, breathing fresh air sold in cans like in China, inside old buildings, would be horribly absurd. The features of the old neighborhood tell us what it has been through over time and bring up shreds of distant memories in me, looking at the cinema buildings on HaNevi'im Street, which are no longer there; the joyful crowd on Nordau pedestrian mall in the Nineties; my childhood spent between the forgotten Memory Park on the upper part of Hasan Shukri Street, and the hidden staircases crossing the mountainous ridge, spanning between the upper part of Rothschild Street to Emek Ha'Zeitim (Valley of Olives)- these are all childhood memories that had assimilated and dissolved into the old neighborhood.

Our bodies are almost similar in their organs and general shape, and each one of us is built from 100 trillion cells that carry the different genetic loads we inherit. Although each type of cell in our body has a different function, they all coexist side by side in complete harmony, working towards one superior cause - sustaining life. However, the human body cannot exist without a compatible environment, which holds the oxygen that gives one life. We are all alike in our basic elements, though very different from each other in our essence, but we all breathe and need the same oxygen. But if a person lives in an environment where the regime acts as the oxygen supplier, then the regime has the power to deprive one from getting oxygen, thus preventing that person from sustaining his or her life. Therefore, the regime must give each resident the same amount of oxygen, so that they could live side by side in balance, harmony, and equality.
Until that day comes, I will keep on looking for that which will restore Hadar's life by conserving and reconstructing it; that which will choose to act in a place where balance, ethics, logic and existence will be manifested in both the material and the philosophical spheres.

The exhibition XY Chromo Zone shows the works and activities of activist groups and individuals, most of whom are Haifa residents who live in Hadar neighborhood and regularly discuss the meaning of public space. The participants' activities and works express their world views, addressing the problems in the neighborhood and criticising what goes on in it. They all act to promote a life of equality in the neighborhood.
This exhibition actually demonstrates how irrelevant the racial, gender, and religious differences between the residents are. These differences blur and vanish once you act as a unified body acting towards one superior goal - the revival and conservation of Hadar.
