Course/Module description:
The Right to the Heart Police was established on August 1, 2020. There is one policewoman in this police force. The policewoman's name is Az-Oolay, surname: It will be better. A clown policewoman who operates in spaces of gatherings, demonstrations, and places where there are many beating hearts and sometimes outbreaks of violence. The goal of the Right to the Heart Police is to connect and connect to beating hearts, to make people happy and laugh, and to practice listening to the heart while going through the actions of life. The clown allows us to cross the invisible but distinct boundaries between the different populations in this city and challenges the established story. After 336 shifts and over three years of consistent work in the field; Policewoman Az-Oli from the Yesh-el-Halev Police Department has a call to share, dissect, and explore the possibility of street clowning in the public space as a tool to bring laughter, joy, and healing, and to raise questions about the use of force in the public space through a mirror image.
