Tel Aviv's 'Hostage Square' Art Installation to Be Replicated in Chicago During DNC

Pro-Israel activists aim to highlight the plight of Israeli captives with a public art exhibit near the Democratic National Convention.

The installation will feature six large pieces by Israeli artists and eight 10-foot-tall milk cartons displaying images of American hostages.
Located on a private lot, the exhibit does not require a permit and its exact location remains undisclosed.
Hostage Square Chicago is intended as a place for solidarity, prayer, and condemnation of the October 7 attacks.
Pro-Palestinian groups have organized large marches near the United Center during the convention.
Family members of hostages have been invited to speak at the DNC, though no plans have been confirmed.
