Join Rabbi Tracy Kaplowitz and your fellow Stephen Wise members at Brooklyn's renowned Residency Unlimited to experience the visionary artwork of Israeli-Druze photographer Amira Ziyan.
Ziyan will lead us on a tour of her staged photos largely depicting contemporary Druze women and discuss the meaning behind the photographs, her personal journey, how she broke into the international art world, and more!
Tickets cost $10 per person. This event is co-sponsored by Stephen Wise Free Synagogue's Israel Committee.
Amira Ziyan has exhibited solo at the Tel Aviv University Art Gallery, Cabri Gallery, Umm El Fahem Gallery and Wilfrid Museum of Art in Kibbutz Hazorea, among others, and has participated in numerous group exhibitions, including at Museum on the Seam in Jerusalem, Artspace Gallery in Tel Aviv, The Museum of Islamic Art in Jerusalem and Circle 1 in Berlin. Currently in residence supported by Artis at Brooklyn's Residency Unlimited, Ziyan received the 2022 Oscar Handler Award from Kibbutz Lohamei HaGetaot and the Israel Ministry of Culture Creativity Encouragement Award in 2017. Her work is included in the collection of the Haifa Museum of Art and in private collections.
