Abstract
This co-operative community-based research, practicing participatory action research through co-operative inquiry, provided a space for arts-based learning for Diaspora Jews and Palestinians. The arts including cuisine, drawing, poetry, scripture, objects d’art, and film were the vehicles used to find existential meanings and in particular new learning about “the Other.” Findings showed both resistance and attraction to the resolution of profound and deeply felt histories and personal narratives. The author’s trip to Israel and the West Bank of Palestine followed, in order to explore the review of literature.
