Why We Exist

In an age of division, we build bridges, harnessing the arts to remind us of our shared humanity.

 

We facilitate authentic cultural exchange between bold, brilliant artists from Israel and communities across the U.S., with a special focus on Black-Jewish dialogue and engagement.

Cultivating Connection Across Cultures

BAMAH is a cultural dialogue and exchange organization that works with artists from Israel to create transformative, cross-cultural experiences.

Art provides space for diverse viewpoints that dismantle dualities. Through cross-cultural collaboration, we build authentic, lasting relationships among people who might otherwise never meet.
