Conflict Zone Arts Asylum Israel

Conflict Zone Arts Asylum is an aspiring group of artists from around the world who together under the leadership of Michael Ronen create works challenging conflict and political problems of the world we live in. It is a company which works against a backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and events in Europe such as the 7/7 London bombings and the Parisian riots. The company started out as a Conflict Zone Theatre Company in London in 2007. It became closer to that of an arts asylum (resulting in a name change), with the joining of a broader range of artists in its move to Berlin in October 2007. The company has since been responsible for employing and exposing fine artists, photographers, film makers and choreographers. Conflict Zone’s work is still however, strongly theatre-based and has such projects in planning for 2009. The company works towards writing new theatrical works and producing original productions.
