Visual Artist Gil Yefman will be in conversation with Shayna Weiss, Associate Director Schusterman Center for Israel Studies at Brandeis University.

A trans-disciplinary conceptual artist, Gil transforms canonized familiar myths from varied beliefs and traditions in order to undermine the structured definitions and portrayal of the other. Collaborative projects fuse memory, trauma and the body, with transgenerational multilayered relations where soft materials dissolve hard subject matters.
