There is something mesmerizing about a fresh splash of light hitting the most historical buildings of the past. For the tenth year in a row, the Jerusalem Light Festival illuminates the ancient building designs of the past with a large dose of international imagination, allowing hundreds of thousands of local residents and tourists to visualize a new future of Jerusalem.
The Jerusalem Light Festival takes place from June 27 to July 5. Highlights include an interactive graffiti wall by French artist Antonin Foureau, who innovated a way to create light graffiti with touch. The Damascus Gate was also spotlighted in a rolling slideshow of illuminations from global artists to represent ‘universal unity.’ Another exciting spotlight is a beloved art piece which traveled from the Negev desert, originally showcased at Midburn, Israel’s’ Burning Man. The Technodome is the vision of artist Lev Kraitman and creates both a light and sound experience, hosting a party under the “colorful sky” on the last night of the festival.
The celebration of light is one of the most popular attractions in Jerusalem which surely creates a bright path to connect culture, art and the world.
