Scholar in Residence

Yuli Aloni Primor is an interdisciplinary visual artist investigating the feminine psyche as it relates to both personal and existing modes of myth making and heritage. She has shown in solo and group exhibitions and biennials internationally.

Born July 18, 1986 in Tel-Aviv to a family of artists and civil rights activists, Yuli is the granddaughter of Shulamit Aloni — the founder of the civil rights movement in Israel-Palestine. Aloni moved with her family at age seven to NYC, where she grew up. She attended three semesters in an interdisciplinary program at Hampshire College, (Massachusetts), where her focus was on film, creative writing, and theatre. In 2009 Aloni enrolled in Bezalel Academy of the Arts, Jerusalem, where she received a B.A. from the Fine Arts Department. In 2020 Aloni lived six months in Berlin where she received an Artist Visa and studio. In May 2023 she graduated from the MFA program of the School of Visual Arts in NYC with a top scholarship grant.

She is currently based in Brooklyn, NY.
