SUMMARY:Alternative Narratives in Israeli Art: Gender\, Identity and Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Image: New Victims by Zoya Cherkassky \nOrganized by the UCLA Y&S Nazarian Center for Israel Studies\nThe tremendous diversity of Israeli society\, comprised of Jews from around the world\, Palestinian Arabs and Druze (among others) with differing national ties\, religious beliefs and cultural mores\, leads to a complex nexus of overlapping and often conflicting affiliations and identities. \nIn this symposium\, art scholars and artists will examine various works of contemporary Israeli art to understand the multiple identities and varieties of experience – Jewish\, Palestinian\, immigrant\, female\, male\, LGBTQ – which are unique to Israel and also\, in many ways\, universal. The artists will discuss how their artwork reflects personal narratives regarding national\, ethnic and gender identity\, and dynamics of inclusion-exclusion. \nAbout the Speakers\nRaida Adon – Born in Akko in northern Israel to a Jewish father and a Muslim mother\, Adon’s artworks emerge from her complex biography\, addressing conflicted nations and the relationship between two interrelated societies. The image of the woman is a recurring motif in her work\, as a metaphor for the post-1948 geographic space of Israel/Palestine and reflecting the artist’s own quest for rootedness\, while alluding to many refugee crises. Adon is a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. She has shown work and performances at museums as well as theatre festivals around the world. \nGannit Ankori – Prof. Ankori of Brandeis University is an internationally-recognized art historian who has published widely on contemporary art from a global perspective\, with emphasis on issues pertaining to gender\, national identity\, religion\, trauma\, exile\, hybridity and their manifestations in the creative arts. She is the author of Palestinian Art (Reaktion Books\, London\, 2006) and has curated numerous exhibitions on Israeli and Palestinian art. She is also internationally renowned for her books\, articles\, and exhibitions on the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. \nZoya Cherkassky – Acclaimed Israeli artist Zoya Cherkassky was born in Kiev in 1976 and immigrated with her family to Israel in 1991. Her paintings address her personal experiences and the collective experience the million-strong Russian immigrant influx to Israel – often marked by unflattering stereotypes – and her conflicted Jewish identity. Cherkassky’s work has been shown at major museums and institutions worldwide\, including the Israel Museum; Tel Aviv Museum of Art; Martin Gropius Bau\, Berlin; and MARS Center for Contemporary Arts\, Moscow. \nRoey Victoria Heifetz – Heifetz is an artist from Jerusalem currently living in Berlin. Her most recent work includes videos and drawings of transgender women (primarily) in communities in Berlin\, Israel and Los Angeles\, including self-portraits. The pieces examine the transgender body and the body in general\, and raise issues such as gender change\, anxieties\, old age\, regret\, femininity\, motherhood\, pain\, and fear of yourself and of society. Her work has been shown in group and solo exhibitions around the world. Heifetz studied at the Bezalel Academy for Arts and Design in Jerusalem (BFA\, MFA) and the School of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston. She is the recipient of the 2018 Ann and Ari Rosenblatt Prize in Visual Art. \nSagi Refael – Refael is an Israeli art historian and curator whose writing and curating focuses on gender issues and particularly representations of masculinity in art and visual culture. He has curated and/or published on contemporary art exhibitions at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art\, Museum of Israeli Art (Ramat Gan) and galleries in Israel\, Berlin\, and Los Angeles. \nDate: Tuesday\, February 19\, 2019\nTime: 2:30 pm\nLocation: Royce Hall 314 \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nUCLA Department of Art\nUCLA Department of Art History\nUCLA Department of Gender Studies\nCenter for Jewish Studies\nUCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance\nCenter for Near Eastern Studies\nLGBTQ Studies Program\nCenter for the Study of Women\nUCLA Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures
