How do you see your city? Fascinating, cosmopolitan and exciting – or disturbing and depressing? However you feel about the place you call home, there’s no denying the energy and creativity of the people – we’ve seen the emergence of a new generation of talented artists, determined to break from the stereotypes and misconceptions of the past.

In our new video ‘The Young Professionals’, we’ve tried to capture the spirit and diversity of the people who live here — people who ‘work to live’ rather than ‘live to work’. Tel Aviv is urban living at its best, a place to meet and socialize, and use new media to interact and communicate. It’s a city where individualism is celebrated — quirky and different is always welcome, with the freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want.

That’s how we see our city, and we want to know how you see yours. The Young Professionals invite you to take part in a visual conversation athttp://bit.ly/yEvSeC, and share your city’s creativity with the world. All you have to do is capture a slice of life using Instagram, upload, and add the tag #ilovemycity

Tel Aviv’s most innovative act, Eatliz, will bring its spectacular visual performances and outstanding genre-crossing music to China for the first time in March, after being invited to perform at the JUE Music and Art Festival in Beijing and Shanghai. Eatliz will be the first ever Israeli act to perform at this festival, the biggest and the most well known in China.

During the band’s visit, which was supported by the Israeli Consulate in Beijing, the band will perform an “Artist Class” in several schools in the city, teaching young Chinese about the combination of music and art, where they will share their creative process, as well as experience brainstorming and disseminating their award-winning music videos around the world.

Despite the strong censorship in China, which includes blocking websites like “YouTube” and “Facebook,” Eatliz’s astounding creative vision has already been recognized with multiple awards in China, mostly due to individual internet users who discovered the band’s music and uploaded it to the Internet independently.

Eatliz has gained a reputation for their eye-popping animated music videos – for songs such as “Hey”, “Lose This Child” and “Attractive” – which have been seen by millions in 200 domestic and international film festivals, where they received dozens of awards, including the Babelgum Online Film Festival’s “Spike Lee Award”, granted by the renowned director at the New York Tribeca Film Festival, “Best Foreign Video” at the 11th Sichuan TV Festival “Gold Panda” Awards, “Best Experimental Foreign Short Film” at the China Xiamen International Animation Festival and the Special Jury Prize for TV Animation at the China International Animation and Digital Arts Festival Golden Dinosaur Awards, plus screenings before the film “Avatar” at cinemas across America. These unique music videos have earned the band a great deal of press attention worldwide, along with performances on TV shows and at major music festivals.

Due to popular demand, and also aspiring to reach all of their fans in China, Eatliz has expanded the tour beyond Beijing and Shanghai, and added more show dates in Hong Kong, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan and Changsha.

“China is an extremely fascinating country to us,” Eatliz’s Guy Ben Shitrit told AbbaNibi.com, “We can’t wait to see how we will be accepted there.”
