For more than 20 years, the wall built by the Israeli government after the 2nd intifada has drastically limited the freedom of circulation of the Palestinians who, on a daily basis, must go through checkpoints in order to go to their workplaces, health centres of schools. "Wall of shame" and "wall of apartheid" for some, while others are speaking of "security fence" or "anti-terrorist barrier". Other economic, sociologic or historical walls are also rising. How far do the wall expand? Is it possible to cross them? What may be the role of citizen and artistic movements in promoting togetherness?
