Sagit Zluf Namir


Artist-photographer, photography lecturer, and curator.

She holds a Bachelor's degree in Photography and Education from the Wizo Academy of Design and Education in Haifa, and a Master's degree in Interdisciplinary Art from Tel Aviv University.

An active artist for 15 years, she has held nine solo exhibitions, participated in many group exhibitions in Israel and abroad, and has received awards and grants. Her works are part of various collections, both institutional and private.

Since 2004, she has been teaching photography at photography departments in various institutions in Israel, as well as in private frameworks.

In 2018, she opened the "Personal Photography Space," where hundreds of photographers have learned and continue to create and exhibit to this day.

Numerous photography exhibitions curated by her have been and are being displayed in galleries, at photography festivals, and in 2020, she curated a large group exhibition for her graduates at the Haifa Museum of Art. She served as a judge in "Local Testimony," Israel’s annual photojournalism exhibition, in 2017 and 2018, and as a judge at the photo festival photo is:rael in 2019.

 

Through her teaching, Sagit makes academic photography accessible, emphasizing dialogue with the world of art and culture. The teaching method she developed combines a structured and didactic process, personal guidance, identification, and nurturing the strengths of each photographer. The learning pathways combine extensive knowledge of the medium and cultural contexts with sensitivity and discernment, allowing for the identification of each photographer’s unique fingerprint. Through professional and sensitive guidance, each photographer becomes a creator and hones their expressive ability through the camera, ultimately forming a photographic identity and personal language.
