Artist Talk: Hila Amram in conversation with Roxana Fabius

Join us for an evening of art and conversation with Peleh Residency Artist Hila Amram, a Tel Aviv-based artist bridging the worlds of art and science. The Neighborhood Curator Roxana Fabius will lead a discussion about how the intertwining of biology, chemistry, and archaeology with art open unprecedented creative and destructive possibilities.

Hila Amram an Israeli-based multidisciplinary artist. Her work revolves around a continuous subjective research she conducts within her “artistic lab” which constitutes her creative space. Amram seeks to undermine the paradigms and typical practices within the respective fields of study, at the same time revoking the, some might say, archaic hierarchy, which strictly separates professional from hobbyists and sterile labs with strict sets of rules from centers with informal homely ambience which allow much improvisation.

The Neighborhood: An Urban Center for Jewish Life is a Jewish community and cultural center in Brooklyn. We produce programs that raise up underrepresented perspectives and welcome the thousands of Brooklynites that have not yet found their Jewish home. We are creating a welcoming space that reflects the spirit of Brooklyn–future-thinking and deeply historical, iconoclastic, and sacred.

The Peleh Residency, based in Berkeley, CA and Brooklyn, NY, offers artists across all genres the time, space and support to practice their craft. Designed to accommodate artists with families, the residency provides a space apart for retreat, reflection and art making, and an opportunity to foster new collaborations, audiences and connections.
