ATOA

Join ATOA on Monday, May 18th at 7 pm EST on Zoom for a dialogue between artist Doron Wolf in and professor Margaret Olin, Senior Lecturer Emeritus at Yale University.

Doron Wolf is a New York–based artist and figurative painter whose work examines how identity, intimacy, and perception are shaped through images in a visually saturated world. Working primarily in oil paint, Wolf creates carefully constructed scenes drawn from domestic interiors and everyday life, often mediated through mirrors, screens, reflections, and art historical reference. His paintings explore the tension between lived experience and its representation, blending contemporary visual culture with echoes of classical painting traditions.

Margaret Olin is Senior Lecturer Emeritus in the Department of Religious Studies at Yale University. While at Yale she taught seminars in visual theory, the visual culture of witnessing and commemoration, and the religious performance of space. She has a PhD in History of Culture from the University of Chicago and completed studies in photography at the Institute of Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Among her books are The Nation Without Art: Examining Modern Discourses in Jewish Art, Touching Photographs (Chicago, 2012), Photography and Imagination (New York and London, 2020), edited with Amos Morris-Reich, and the photographic text The Bitter Landscapes of Palestine, with David Shulman (2024).
