Artist Bio

Efrat Hakimi is a multidisciplinary artist and educator based in Brooklyn, New York. Working in a variety of media spanning technologies and crafts, she studies and interprets images, objects, and geographically specific sites to critically explore and expand narratives surrounding cultural artifacts—especially those bearing witness to the female body. Working in photography, video installation, and sculpture, Hakimi challenges audiences’ understanding of women's power and healing to contend with histories of violence and displacement. Her recent solo and group exhibitions include those at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Tel Aviv Museum of Art; Hyde Park Art Center, and Roots & Culture, Chicago. Hakimi received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2019) and her BSc from Ben-Gurion University (2010). www.efrathakimi.com
