year. Received Kurt Joosse Award in Germany and The Rozenblum award from the city of Tel Aviv in 2010.
Embedded in Arkadi’s work is a belief that the role of art is to challenge and inspire viewers, while simultaneously it has a larger universal role to reach out and bring together different communities and different sectors of society. Arkadi is increasingly working in diverse communities, focusing primarily on the Arab sector in Israel.
