Never been to the Holy Land?

Enter Bethlehem!

The 6+ art collective* and friends present a counter-narrative of the 
political and social realities of life in the Occupied Palestinian 
Territories (OPT) based on the efforts of actual "alternative" or 
"unplugged" tours of the Holy Land. Come visit Bethlehem with our 
guided tours of where2go while in the OPT.

Itinerary highlights:

- Salam, Shalom and Welcome! Cross the Bethlehem checkpoint

- Last Call: Wine tasting at Cremisan Winery (soon to be annexed to 
Israel!)

- Ask A Palestinian!** Authentic dialogue introduces you to local 
viewpoints

- Plus other Palestinian hospitality and video screenings  designed to 
take you to the very heart of the OPT experience

* 6+ is a collective which invites women artists from different 
cultural backgrounds to work together. We seek to develop a supportive, 
creative network of women artists through a practice of direct 
engagement. We explore different possibilities for artistic cooperation 
across great distances, both geographic and cultural. Our work is about 
finding connections between apparently distant locations and 
experiences, while at the same time creating a space for difference. We 
believe it is possible to work together to create relationships outside 
the logic of the market, of commerce, of the media and of the march of 
armies.

** 6+ member, Sama Alshaibi - a Palestinian.
