Upcoming Events
From Uniforms to Wearables x Sneaker Rebirth
This collaborative workshop brings together artist Tomer Peretz and Dr. H Sahar Haba for a hands-on creative experience at the intersection of art, fashion, and personal storytelling, set inside The 8 Exhibit at our New York gallery. The exhibition features works created through The 8 Project’s healing-through-art process, exploring identity, resilience, and post-traumatic growth.
Participants will paint and transform military uniforms into personal artworks, reimagining an object tied to protection and sacrifice as a canvas for expression and strength.
Alongside this, participants will redesign sneakers using paint, textures, laces, and mixed materials, turning an everyday item into a one-of-a-kind wearable piece that speaks to movement, renewal, and forward momentum.
This workshop is open to all levels. No art experience needed – just curiosity and a willingness to create.
Time: 12:00-4:00 PM
Please bring a pair of sneakers (or shoes of your choice) to customize. Event details and the exact location will be shared via email closer to the date.
100% of proceeds support The 8 Project’s therapeutic residency program.

About The 8 Project
Tomer Peretz, a distinguished artist and survivor of trauma from his military service between 2000 and 2004, as well as his volunteer efforts on October 7th, assisting in clearing deceased individuals from kibbutz Beeri and its surroundings alongside the organization Zaka, has founded an Art Therapy organization offering a unique approach to healing.
Having experienced personal transformations through art during his time as a soldier and later as an artist, Tomer deeply understands the profound impact of artistic expression in processing and overcoming trauma. His organization provides a secure and nurturing environment for groups and survivors of terror attacks to explore their emotions and embark on their healing journey.
Supported by a dedicated team of three experienced board members, including a psychotherapist, trauma therapist, and social worker, the organization offers a comprehensive and trauma-informed approach to art therapy. Through various artistic mediums, participants are guided in expressing and processing their emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Harnessing the creative process, Tomer Peretz’s Art Healing organization empowers individuals to reclaim control, foster resilience, and find hope in the aftermath of trauma.
