Tent of Assembly by Dan Farberoff & David Behar Perahia, part of the Common Views art initiative, was created for the Kumzits Art Festival, Krakow, Poland, 2021, in collaboration with Oskar Krason & Adam Zdunczyk. The Tent of Assembly is a durational performance installation exploring human displacement and resilience in a time of increasing climatic and social-ecological pressures on vulnerable human habitation. A group of volunteers ventured along the streets of Krakow’s old Jewish quarter of Kazimierz over the festival’s 10 days, erecting a makeshift, modular structure, which they took down every evening. Members of the public were invited into the structure, to take part in a conversation about displacement and listen to collected recorded stories of recently displaced persons residing in Krakow.

Kumzits Art Festival was created for 30th Jewish Culture Festival in cooperation with Curatorial Collective for Public Art and HaMiffal, and was supported by the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation, Goethe Institut, Municipality of Jerusalem and The City of Kraków.
