“I am a professional singer, and I am famous. I get on stage with my famous outfit – a short pink dress, and a belt. I am wearing high heels and a lot of makeup. I wear earrings, and I accessorise. My hair is long, and I wear ribbons in my hair, and… I put as much on as possible. When I am walking on stage it makes a loud sound: tak tak, tak, tak. The entire world wants to hear me sing. To hear me sing, people are waiting for a month, no, for months! You wouldn’t believe it. The truth is that Moshe Perets and I wrote a song together, but we haven’t sang it just yet. The song is called My Dream. I like it that at the end of the show people throw roses at my feet.” Dina, a participants in We Used To Call Them Clouds (AKA Blind) 2013

“She was not a baby that would go to sleep. So we would have to bounce all the time. We had this ball. And sometimes for 45 minutes I would be on the physio-ball, just bouncing to put her to sleep. And it was difficult, and we were doing this, yeah, 45 minutes on the ball, up and down up and down. For me it was a whole issue that I couldn’t put her down. Even the Health Visitor who came home and I would cry, I would say: “I am here sitting with her and that’s what I have been doing all day, I can’t eat, I can’t do…” And for me being alone in that situation, of having no freedom of movement. And I remember the Health Visitor said, ‘ok let us try put her down’ and we put her down and she stayed there. And after ten minutes she would wake up, but the Health Visitor said ‘you see, ten minutes. She slept there for ten minutes’” Charoltte, participant in the Green Screen Seminal 2021

“I am not frightened. I keep thinking this is Alenbi street, so I can escape quickly, if I needed to. This job is not about emotion. When a client comes along, you do not see him as a person, as a human. You see the money, you see the note, right here, on his forehead” Lila, participant in Natives 2012

“I don’t like games so much. All my friends in my neighbourhood, that used to play Catch, Football and Hide&seek, I never played with them, because I didn’t like it. I don’t have any friends, and I would like to have friends. Slowly I learn, here at the school how to befriend and connect to friends. With my friends I would like to play Taki, Race, Hide&seek, Catch… I think I will be good at playing these games.” David, a participant in We Used To Call Them Clouds (AKA Blind) 2013

“We were about eight students in my class, and the teachers were usually blind. At those times they were schools that would come here to see how we study. They would look at us through a window set in the wall, and us, being totally blind, we wouldn’t be aware that they are watching us. But we knew, of course we knew, and we used to call them clouds. Because they were like clouds, hovering over our windows. It wasn’t very nice, being looked at like puppets, while we are not aware of it. It was because they didn’t want to interrupt, but we didn’t like it. We used to talk about this among ourselves. That we don’t like it”. Yossi, a participant in We Used To Call Them Clouds (AKA Blind) 2013

“It is like I used to work at those coffee shops at the petrol station. All day long ‘Can you make me a coffee’ I can’t touch coffee now. I am telling you, this place has two different facets to it, day and night. It is like Remembrance Day and Independence Day.” Lila a participants in Natives 2012
