Barbur

We are designers, architects, artists, activists, makers, hackers, urban ecologists and researchers. Acting as both students and teachers, we gather in public spaces in search of new dialogues that will redefine the boundaries of our disciplines.
Since 2013, we relocate to a new site every semester, creating action-based interdisciplinary projects for our hosting environment and community.

Pandora Collective consists of independent artists. Since its foundation in 2010, the collective acts as a network for creators in the field of visual theatre and performance-art. The members of the collective accompany each other in their creative processes, take part in different experiments and carry out artistic collaborations.
The characteristic of Pandora’s activity is dynamic and has changed throughout the years: from the production of unique Pandora evenings, to community work in a studio located in a neighbourhood, to internal group meetings that function as a witch-circle of the arts. Nonetheless, all throughout the years Pandora emphasized the experimental, gave significance to deep creative processes in a non-institutional and autonomous surroundings, created close and intimate connections with the audience, and worked on the basis of generosity among colleagues and friends.
Pandora members nowadays are: Moran Aviv, Inbal Dekel Goldberg, Moran Duvshani, Ruth Hof, Li Lorian, Aharon Manor, Shay Persil and Ari Teperberg.
