I’m a Tel Aviv-based mixed media artist, curator and co-founder of a queer-feminist art collective, with B.Ed. F.A. in art and education as well as certificate (with distinction) in curation and visual literacy from Kibbutzim College, and M.F.A. from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design.

​

The installation works I create, inspired by the search for home and a sense of belonging, explore the local context. Against the backdrop of my personal history and upbringing, I seek to deconstruct familiar narratives which once I longed to accept as mine and now seem to be coming apart at the seams; to realize alternative paths out of forgotten fragments that were missing from the main story.

​

At the core of this creative action, I explore different archetypes of the Israeli and Jewish identity, primarily the motif of the wandering Jew. An attempt to connect to a collective guiding light I belong to, this creative process not once forces internal confrontations or encounters with the gaping wounds of my identity.

​

To make better sense of everything happening now, I look into the past, finding an abundance of potential inspiration in archives, both public and private, and family heirlooms. The sources are often intertwined, sharing both a personal story and a collective memory.

​

The choice of medium is informed by the story, phenomenon or physical space I explore, but the installation works I create combine several media, like animation, sound, sculpture and more. The material transition between one medium and another, and the transformation to the digital (and back) fascinate me and lay a fertile liminal ground where those missing parts of the story can exist.

​

As an undergraduate student, I was a part of the founding group of the Bush collective for queer-feminist art, set up in 2015 to build alternative creative spaces and platforms. We started out with a fanzine, an independent, unfunded publication, and over the years the collective and its activities have grown to include the production and curation of art exhibitions; cultural events, a magazine, and a wide, diverse community of artists.

​

I believe there is immense value in nurturing and being part of creative communities, and seek to enhance my interactions with other artists. Beyond collaborations, I am happy to share from my experience as a curator and mentor, supporting creative processes and facilitating the development of a vision or a concept into fully formed, engaging works of art.
