Photography Workshops
The summer program is comprised of photography workshops and guest lectures by leading experts who will provide an insight on the social, political, architectural and anthropological aspects of the area. Guest lectures will assist students in assessing the theoretical framework of their projects.
Workshop participants will select subject matter of their own choosing and produce a project at the end of the three week period. Class instruction will span two days per week and students are encouraged to utilize their time outside the workshop to photograph in the Jerusalem area or in any other part of the country. Bezalel will provide students with assistance in executing their work by linking them to networks of local residents and institutions.
All lectures will be delivered in English.
Academic Oversight:
Miki Kratsman- Head of the Department of Photography at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design Jerusalem. Mr. Kratsman is one of Israel’s preeminent photojournalists. His work has been featured in local and international galleries and museums.

The sites as well as the historic and anthropological forces that have played a dominant role in the shaping of Jerusalem, and indeed in the shaping of world affairs, will be at the focus of this research based workshop. Participants will gain firsthand knowledge of anthropological, historical, and political sites in and around Jerusalem through exploratory visits and will be expected to define their work in relation to concepts like documentation, narrative, fiction, aestheticism and activism. The goal of this course is to supply the participant with primary experience as relating to significant sites and in the process to materialize the relationship between art, photography, and the, often, abstract sources of inspiration.

The State of Israel and the larger context in which it exists presents the photographer with endless opportunity for photographic projects. As a complex society grappling with issues of existence and accommodation of a multitude of ethnic and religious groups, Israel provides opportunity for research, critique, and discussion. If art is said to be a form of protest, then the projects that will be produced by participants during this workshop will allow for the close examination and scrutiny of personal and public perceptions.
