Elisheva Gavra

Elisheva Gavra is an artist and photographer based in New York. Her practice involves photography and performance. She is interested in photography as a belief system, and in the possibility for an audience to explicate and question those beliefs. Her work is a perpetual attempt at direct participation in reality and its mechanisms of meaning.

Her work has been exhibited at the Jewish Museum in New York, The Broad Art Center in Los Angeles, and elsewhere. She is a graduate of the Columbia school of the Arts MFA program in photography, and a fellow at the Interdisciplinary Art and Theory Program in New York, as well as the Vartan Gregorian Center for the Humanities at the New York Public Library.
