Kochi | Israel Consul General to South India Tammy Ben-Haim has said the Kochi Muziris Biennale is a heartwarming experience and the enthusiastic participation of the new generation is the highlight of the ongoing event.

Along with beautiful artworks that make you happy, experiencing those themed on subjects having a serious effect on humankind is a bit unsettling, a statement, quoting the Consul General, said.

Artworks light up issues at varied degrees and many works here have relevance on multiple levels, the diplomat said after visiting the Biennale here the other day.

"The Biennale shows how the same thing is seen and perceived differently by different regions around the world and how they experience it in their unique way. On the whole, exhibitions at the Biennale are emotional and thought-provoking," the Consul General said.

The enthusiastic participation of the new generation, including school students, is the highlight of the Kochi Biennale, Tammy Ben-Haim added.
