Identity is a vital part of any country and is even more important in the modern world in an era of globalisation. Cultural references enhance the understanding of a country. The Israeli Embassy London is a great source of information on highly successful and distinct artistic forms that reflect Israeli society. These run from musicians to actors, directors, artists and writers who have created works that not only speak of and to the people of Israel, but people everywhere. Many of these artists find outlets in British culture and express what Israeli culture means and what it stands for.
Film is a growing discipline in Israel and the number of internationally acclaimed films is growing all of the time. Similarly Israeli expression through dance is a growing trend and manifests in both modern and traditional formats that are as expressive and diverse as any in the world.
The music and art of Israel expresses a unique combination of both Western and Eastern influences as well as those of the traditional and modern world. The Israeli Embassy’s website showcases Israel’s visual and musical art both in Israel and Britain in a way that is true to their roots.
The Israeli Embassy, London, is also the place to discover what arts schools exist in Israel. If you are interested in studying in Israel, the culture department at the Israeli Embassy also offers information on scholarships.
