Accompanied with a video camera, Gil & Moti were on a search for Arab employees in snack bars in Amsterdam, for those who found their home and began a new life in Holland.

Between February the 28th and March 2nd Gil and Moti did a cooking and serving performance in Mediamatic alongside the video installation.

'Shakshuka' is a a vegetarian omelet with special oriental spices that the two artists learned to cook in the Israeli army. This dish was the starting point for discussions on art and politics on a Full Belly.
