Play65 Backgammon Exhibition
The backgammon boards exhibition "Art of Reconciliation", sponsored by Play65, was opened last week in Israel, at the municipal art gallery in Givatayim in the presence of the participating artists, the mayor of Givatayim and other respectable guests.
Originally raised for Israel’s 60th anniversary, the backgammon boards that served as the platform for the art pieces mostly did not ignore the exhibition title, nor the symbols attributed to the game, especially here in the Middle East, where backgammon was first introduced to the world.
For many of the 60 artists who gave their personal interpretation to the backgammon board, it was the first opportunity to see the exhibition live, since for the last year and a half, the Art of Reconciliation was exhibited in Washington DC and other locations in the US.
Here are some pictures from the opening night:
