Beit Avi Chai presents "Person, Place, Picture": Local photography in Eretz Israel.
For 150 years, Eretz Israel-landscape, sites, and people-has been photographed, resulting in a beautiful view of the evolution of modern Jewish-Israeli identity. Against the backdrop of the country's landscapes, the Zionist enterprise-and with it, the people- was documented from its inception.
A series of sessions on the photographs, places, people, and memories that all these evoke, as well as the development of landscape photography in Israel, as seen through the work of photographers of Eretz Israel: from Bonfils, Kluger, and Peter Merom to Yossi Eshbol.
A series of sessions with Guy Raz, photographer, scholar, and curator of local photography. Raz, curator of the Song of the Lake exhibition at BEIT AVI CHAI, hosts a leading Israeli historian each week.
