I wrote a professional book, "Create in the Community", a guidebook of original workshops, based on my work experience in different communities which survive under long-lasting oppression, from which I absorbed materials into the creative process in cooperation with the communities with whom I worked. The book assists and inspires directors in the communities to create out of social perception.
I am volunteering with several non-governmental organizations, including The Democratic Mizrahi Rainbow Coalition (a social movement struggling for social and economical equal opportunities), and the Mizrahi feminist group AHOTI (Hebrew for sister), that has for the first time introduced the concepts, theories and praxis of Black Feminism, as it’s known in the US.
