Art Projects
During our meetings, we freely exchange ideas and try finding ways to implement them. Here is what we’ve accomplished so far!
Land Research Project
Started in September, 2022
Non-obvious and extravagant ways to explore the surroundings.
Wild Walks Haifa:
”We started out by listening to the noises of the streets and recorded a soundscape. Next we’ve built noise maps and finally interpreted our soundscape as a soundtrack for jamming.”
Wild Walks Tel Aviv:
“Our idea is to create a city alphabet. We discussed which medium could help us. Among others we were thinking of small graphic novels, collages, and texture imprints. Then everyone shared something about Tel Aviv that feels incredible, and then we linked each of these facts to certain letters. Sounds like we’re gonna build a whole encyclopedia of Tel Aviv!”
The Noisy Fish Podcast
Launched in August, 2022
This show hosted by the “Wild Walks” teenagers from Tel Aviv is all about the fun and burden of being a new immigrant in Israel. Taking the phrase “We love hummus and Shabbat” as a slightly ironic motto, the podcasters discuss their expectations of the new life and compare it with the experiences of their life in the motherland. The podcast project is made by teenagers and arranged by the group leader and soundman Grisha Markov.
Go figure out what’s better, hummus or Shabbat!

Library group
Since July, 2022. Supported by the National Library of Israel
One of the Jerusalem-based “Wild walks” groups gathers weekly on the premises of the National Library of Israel to dive deep into the history of arts, literature, and philosophy.
“Sunday Postmodernism” series of meetings
Blackout Poetry
The story of Abushdid family and Itamar Ben-Yehuda. Actually, we paid a visit to his house…
Shadow. Who Is Peter Schlemihl and his dark side
A garden in your city. Lightricks corporate garden as a miracle
Prophet and prophecies
“We often use the National library’s collections to see examples and explore our topics.
We had a chance to visit archives and a nearby lab where we created a DNA from… bananas.”
Art laboratory
August, 2022. Supported by the National Library of Israel
In summer we collaborated with the National Library of Israel to arrange a week-long art lab. During that week 50 new immigrants from Ukraine and Russia aged 12-20 were working together on several art projects devoted to Jerusalem, poetess Leah Goldberg and the kids’ own experience of emigration. Local teenagers volunteered for this art lab.
After a week the participants presented their projects: a theatre performance, an animated movie and architectural models which afterward were placed on the premises of the Giv’at Ram University campus.
Collaboration with the WILD KIDS
Since April 2022 the “Wild Kids” studio in Jerusalem leads workshops on animation
Artistic director Max Epstein
explaining dark matters
Animated movies created by the teenagers were all based on their recent experience. This art project became an excellent tool for processing uneasy feelings and emotions.
