We are thrilled that Hannah Israel will be joining Atlanta Bushwick Bookclub’s show on artistic inspirations from Cebo Campbell’s “Sky Full of Elephants” on October 4th!

Born in Manila, Philippines, and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Hannah Israel is an artist, educator, and curator based in Columbus, Georgia. She earned her Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and her BA in Art History from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Israel has an extensive exhibition record spanning national and international venues. Her work has been exhibited at Atlanta Contemporary, Whitespace Gallery in Atlanta, the Kentler International Drawing Space in New York, The Columbus Museum, the High Museum of Art, the Zuckerman Museum of Art, the Vargas Museum in the Philippines, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Honolulu, I-Space in Chicago, and the Krannert Art Museum at the University of Illinois, among others. Across these exhibitions, Israel explores materiality, spatial experience, and the poetic tension between presence and absence.

Her forthcoming solo exhibitions include presentations at SPAACES Contemporary Art Center in Sarasota, Florida; Moon Gallery at Berry College in Mount Berry, Georgia; and Lyndon House Arts Center in Athens, Georgia.

Israel’s commitment to artistic research is further reflected in her participation in distinguished residency programs. She has completed residencies at the Banff Centre for Creativity and Innovation in Canada, the Serenbe AIR Program’s Line and Chance Fellowship in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, and the Sculpture Residency at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia. These experiences have deepened her engagement with site, environment, and collaboration, informing her studio practice as well as her approaches to teaching and curatorial work.

I’ve been a busy bee and hadn’t yet shared this thoughtful ArtsAtl review of GA Women to Watch: A Book Arts Revolution, curated by Cynthia Nourse Thompson and on view at Atlanta Contemporary.

Thank you to Dr. Kevin M Storer for your insightful review. Your reflection extends the life of an exhibition, deepen public understanding, and create meaningful dialogue around the work. Deeply grateful. Article Link is in my bio. 🫶🏼⭐️ @cnt_curatorial @atlantacontemporary @gawomeninthearts by @rainbowwatusi

CSU students @columbusstate_art from Hannah Israel’s @rainbowwatusi gallery practice class took a tour of the Do Good collection and got to spend time studying and thinking about the work in “Interior”, our collab with @alabamacontemporary
We had a great discussion on elizabet elliot’s @blackbirdsingssadsong curatorial choices and how photography can be used to define our identity as Southerners.

So honored to facilitate the @secacart panel “Fragility Reimagined: Art as a Lens for Resilience and Vulnerability”featuring artists and educators @chenxigaoart Gao, @RaeGoodwin, @darlenefarrislabar, and @kristentordellawilliams.

This panel explores how fragility, often seen as a point of weakness, can instead become a generative force revealing resilience, interconnectedness, and transformation through artistic practice. Through diverse materials and processes, each panelist reimagines what it means to create within the tension between strength and tenderness. Can’t wait to have more conversations with the 4 of you 🤘🏽🤟🏽❤️ by @rainbowwatusi
