Studio Israel with Raida Adon

The Studio Israel conversation series invites audiences to join leading artists, academics, and community leaders for a panoramic journey through the landscape of Israeli art, dance, food, fashion, and more. It investigates the diversity and nuance of Israel’s variegated social, cultural, and political aspects through the lens of the arts.

While most widely known for her role on the Israeli hit TV series on Netflix Fauda, actress Raida Adon is also the first Israeli-born Palestinian artist to have a solo exhibit at the Israel Museum.

Join her in conversation with Gannit Ankori, the Henry and Lois Foster Director and Chief Curator of the Rose Art Museum, as they discuss her critically acclaimed exhibition Strangeness, what it’s like to be a Palestinian artist in Israel, and more.
