תחומי מחקר
I am a visual culture scholar, curator and activist. My work deals with contemporary art in Israel and around the world. My research focuses on issues of gender, race, class, nationality and age, while using feminist theories and transnationalism. My recent research revolves around immigration and ageism in the state of Israel.
