Intifada offspring is a platform for artists from Palestine, Israel and other regions, who have dedicated their work to the artistic deconstruction of the so-called "middle-east conflict".

It is considering Palestinian, Israeli and international perspectives of individuals who have been born into the historical surroundings of this conflict: those who live in an occupied land, those who live in Israel, those who have chosen or have been forced to leave their homeland and, finally, those who are searching for a peaceful co-existence in this region.

“Intifada Offspring” represents the urge for a change of perspectives on the Middle-East region and struggles for political stabilization and peace. The name “Intifada Offspring” was introduced with a video-work by Tel Aviv based artist Ran Slavin and showing upon a re-edit of an american TV series a reflection on the pointless, vicious and endless loop that the two sides are engaged in. The name stands for a generation of Israelis and Palestinians who do not believe in occupation and the shed of blood on both sides. It stands for a process of acknowledgement and convergence between artists on both sides.

BIZZ CIRCUITS play INTIFADA OFFSPRING Volume 1: Nishbar Li Ha'Zayin is the first in a series of releases, virtual and real-life based actions and artistic statements, which aim to establish a network of artists, where creative confrontations are possible. Intifada Offspring is looking for spaces devoid of walls, barbed wire, dogmatic barriers and prejudices. It is trying to find a basis of communication and work, which breaks through the limitations of categories such as: Jew and Arab, Jewish and Muslim, Israeli and Palestinian. This approach aims to set up an ongoing process of establishing various joints and independent artistic co-productions, which will be documented on this site.
