The Art Laboratory for Future Ecologies, an innovative eco-art center, will soon get under construction in Israel’s Arava Desert. The future center’s founder, Galit Eilat, said the goal is to teach people about sustainability and protecting natural resources through earth art. Eilat is a writer, curator and director of the Meduza Foundation, which incorporates social and political issues with art.
The lab will be housed in the former Hatzeva Field School of the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI), midway between the southern cities of Beersheva and Eilat on the crossroads of ancient trade routes including the Nabatean Spice (Incense) Route that ran through the Middle East.
