Coexistence is a giant public art exhibition, featuring approximately 45 billboard-sized images created by artists from around the world. It encourages people to think about human relationships and the meaning, use and misuse of words such as tolerance and respect. These images create the potential for initiating valuable dialogue on issues of diversity such as race, ethnicity, religion and gender.

Coexistence was initiated and created by the Museum on the Seam and curator Raphie Etgar in Jerusalem in 2001 in response to the cycle of violence in the region. It was displayed on the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, linking the gates from the Jewish, Christian and Moslem Quarters.

The exhibition has toured the world to over 25 venues, including Belfast, Sarajevo, Berlin, Copenhagen, Cape Town, Miami, Washington, DC, Minneapolis, Austin, Houston and Auckland.

The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., is proud to host the first New England showing of Coexistence as part of its ongoing support of the arts and education in the Hartford region, as well as its commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace for its 30,000 employees worldwide.
