Roni Tzoreff recently submitted her PhD thesis, written in the Department of the Arts, at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, under the supervision of Dr Ronit Milano and Prof. Sara Offenberg. In the dissertation she explored the ambivalent relationship between Zionist/ Israeli art and modern Jewish traditional objects. She is interested in conceptualizing the broad cultural meaning of traditional objects, and the way its political, theological, aesthetic and gendered functions changed through the twentieth century.
