CV

Dr. Mor Presiado is a lecturer in the Department of Jewish Art at Bar-Ilan University. Her research includes the fields of women's Holocaust art and the artistic expressions of personal and collective trauma. In December 2018, she launched the massive open online course (MOOC) "Fixing the World: Feminist Art and Jewish Identity," which tells the story of Jewish feminist artists in Israel and the United States and their struggle for equality and justice in and outside of the art world. In 2020 she published the co-edited volume: "War and Art: The Portrayal of Destruction and Mass Violence" (Brill, Ferdinand Schöningh). The book aims to provide critical insight into the relationship between art and war, exploring how modern and contemporary artists from different parts of the globe have dealt with the themes of human loss, destruction, and trauma. Her book Heroine, Mother, Body: Women's Art and the Holocaust will be published by the publishing house of the Ben-Gurion Institute in the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
