A Roundtable with Shiraz Grinbaum, Ilana Hammerman, and Masha Zusman. Moderated by: Ilit Azoulay. Wednesday, March 20 at 8 pm
The mechanism of silencing begins with the muting of personal voices and stories, and reaches even the platforms through which they may become heard. This roundtable will include three speakers, creators, and activists who will share their experiences of being silenced. They will also discuss the phenomenon of second generation PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) victims of the Yom Kippur war.

In 2016, she co-edited the book Activestills: Photography as Protest in Palestine/Israel (University of Chicago Press, 2016) with Dr. Vered Maimon. She explores the influences of PTSD caused by the war on intergenerational relationships and the domestic sphere, through photography.
