Join us for a thought-provoking presentation with our speakers:
Shirly Bahar teaches at Columbia University’s School of Visual Arts. Dr. Behar’s writing and curatorial work explores the relationships between representation, politics, and the body. She is co-editor of the book series, Darom: Global South Perspectives in Jewish Studies, at Wayne State University Press. Behar’s first book, “Documentary Cinema in Israel-Palestine: Performance, the Body, the Home” came out in July 2021. As a cultural organizer, Behar has been curating numerous art shows and public and community programs in NYC and across the US since 2013.
Yali Hashash is a Mizrahi queer feminist academic and organizer. She has a PhD in Jewish History. Dr. Hashash’s research interests include social history of 19th and 20th century Palestine and the Middle East, poverty, gender, nationalism, ethnicity and reproduction. Her book "Whose Daughter Are You: Ways to Speak Mizrahi Feminism" was published in Hebrew in 2022 by Hakibutz ha-Meuhad and will be published in English by Wayne State University Press next year. Hashash is currently serving as the community organizer in the Isha L'Isha Haifa Feminist Center.
