The SILENCE OF THE SHARKS project is

SILENCE OF THE
SHARKS
THE CALL OF OUR CHILDREN
Posters from Eilat, Israel
Posters from Cologne, Germany
These drawings were made by gifted 8th and 9th grade students at the age of 14-15
from Eilat, Eilot and Central Arava. During art classes with Oranit Goldstein, they were first
introduced with scientific and statistic facts, as well as the intensity of global protests against
shark hunting along the history. They then studied the various creative tools made use of in
protests worldwide, which served them later on in the process of creating their own banners
and ads. Tom Sarir, animation and graphic expert, also assisted these children with producing
protest video clips, which can be watched at the SILENCE OF THE SHARKS official website.
These drawings were made by 4th grade students at the age of 9-10 from Olympia
elementary school, located at North West Cologne. Cologne is one of the 3 largest cities in
Germany and the town’s landmark is its famous cathedral, Kölner Dom.
During the 4 recent years, these students have participated in an environmental and shark
conservation program called Sharkproject. They responded with much enthusiasm when
they were offered to contribute to the SILENCE OF THE SHARKS project together with
students from Israel by creating artistic posters.

The SILENCE OF THE SHARKS
project is inspired first and
foremost by our children and our
sincere desire that they get to
meet sharks in real rather than
just at the cinema.
And so, SILENCE OF THE
SHARKS is proud to introduce
an exhibition of protest posters
created by gifted children from
Israel and Germany as part of
our protest against shark hunting.
