The Bronfman Center Gallery at New York University is proud to announce the upcoming exhibition of “Israel 1973,” featuring the photographs of renowned photographer Norma Holt, opening November 6th from 6 pm - 10 pm and on view through November 23rd.

Holt, whose photographic career spans more than forty years, remains a prominent voice in capturing the soul of humanity through her photographic imagery. Initially photographing children to supplement her family’s income, Holt’s affinity for photography soon led her to fix her lens on artists, and later, on women from around the world.

For Holt, the camera has allowed her to contribute to the community through exhibitions urging tolerance and fairness, and at the same time denouncing racism, sexism, and the abuse of the planet. “I never attempted scenery. I never attempted flowers or things like that. People are what interest me. I like to find out what people are about, what matters to them, and to use my political sensibilities to make a statement about the world I live in.”

“Israel 1973” allows viewers the opportunity to see more than just what life was like in Israel thirty years ago, but to see what life is like. Holt’s are not images of Jews or Muslims, but of people living. “All these people wanted to do was live, and have their religious ceremonies and have their music and have their children.” Through her photographs, Holt impresses upon us that which we don’t see in the headlines – people going about their “day-to-day” as we all do. Hers truly is the art of living.
