Born in Israel to immi­grants from Yemen and cur­rent­ly liv­ing in New York City, Zion Ozeri is one of the world’s lead­ing pho­tog­ra­phers explor­ing the Jew­ish expe­ri­ence. Raised in Israel dur­ing a peri­od of mass immi­gra­tion, he inter­act­ed with many diverse cul­tures. This unique back­ground gives him a cross-cul­tur­al per­spec­tive that suf­fus­es his work. Ozeri grad­u­at­ed from the Fash­ion Insti­tute of Tech­nol­o­gy and Pratt Insti­tute, both in New York City. His pho­tographs have appeared in many nation­al pub­li­ca­tions and have been exhib­it­ed in muse­ums and gal­leries around the world. Ozeri has pub­lished sev­er­al books, includ­ing The Jew­ish World Fam­i­ly Hag­gadah (New York: Simon and Schus­ter, 2005) and a cof­fee table book titled The Jews of Yemen: The Last Gen­er­a­tion (Jerusalem: Keter, 2005). He won a Simon Rock­ow­er Award for Excel­lence in Jew­ish Jour­nal­ism in 2004 and is the recip­i­ent of the Covenant Award for 2013. Ozeri found­ed the Jew­ish Lens cur­ricu­lum and project in 2004, now being offered through Beit Hat­fut­sot Muse­um in Israel. In addi­tion, Ozeri found­ed and is the cre­ative direc­tor of the ear­ly child­hood project With­in the Image, as well as DiverCi­ty Lens, a cur­ricu­lum and pro­gram imple­ment­ed since 2010 in New York City pub­lic schools through the New York City Depart­ment of Education.
