Bio
Vera Gailis is an artist, curator, and researcher based in Israel, affiliated with the School of Cultural Studies at Tel Aviv University. Her practice-based research focuses on archives, migration, photography, public space, and the politics of administrative recognition and erasure. She is the founder of Merhav Umanut, a public-space art platform in Tirat Carmel. Her current work examines archival photography, migrant memory, vernacular images, motherhood, and the visual-bureaucratic forms through which people become visible — or remain unrecognized — within state archives.
