TIGIST YOSEPH RON
Tigist Yoseph Ron (born 1977, Ethiopia). Yoseph Ron’s expressive charcoal drawings depict portraits, events, and impressions from the Atlit Absorption Center, where she spent time with her family after immigrating to Israel from Ethiopia in Operation Moses in 1984. She engages with questions of identity and self-determination through an exploration of her relationship with her mother, who died when she was sixteen years old, and against the backdrop of the crisis of immigration from Ethiopia to Israel. Her engagement with the difficulties of integrating into a new society and the price it entails also illuminates the stereotypes that inform societal attitudes toward others.
Tigist Yoseph Ron received the 2019 Haim Shiff Prize for Figurative-Realist Art.
