Led by artist Tomer Peretz, this one-of-a-kind workshop transforms military uniforms into bold, customized art pieces. Participants use calligraphy and different painting techniques, along with guided creative prompts, to reimagine the uniform as a meaningful personal canvas.
Working on a military uniform carries powerful symbolism. It reflects courage, identity, and the collective story of Israel. As participants create, they are invited to explore their own relationship to Israel, its history, its resilience, and the deep sense of belonging it inspires.
Through expressive design, each uniform becomes more than fabric. It becomes a bridge between personal narrative and national pride, allowing participants to wear their connection to Israel with intention and strength.
Each person leaves with a unique wearable artwork and a deeper, more rooted sense of identity and purpose.
A creative experience unlike anything else.
A statement you can wear.
