About

Tali Keren is a multidisciplinary artist and educator born in Jerusalem and based between Brooklyn and Phoenix. Working across video, participatory installation, and immersive documentary practices, her work foregrounds the transformative potential of political imagination. Her practice is grounded in collaboration and cross-disciplinary dialogue with artists, scholars, scientists, and students.

Keren’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at venues including the Queens Museum; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts; the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum; Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit; The James Gallery at CUNY Graduate Center; Eyebeam; Ludlow 38/MINI Goethe-Institut; and in Times Square’s Midnight Moment. Her projects have been featured in The New Yorker, Artforum, Art in America, The New York Times, Hyperallergic, Flash Art, and on WNYC’s Brian Lehrer Show.

She is the 2023–2025 Jerome Hill Artist Fellow and a 2022 Artadia Award recipient (with Alex Strada), and has received support from the Rema Hort Mann Foundation, the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, and the Desert Humanities Institute at Arizona State University.

Keren is currently the inaugural artist-in-residence at ASU’s Water Institute, where she collaborates with hydrologists, climate scientists, and students. Her residency is supported by the Humanities Institute Seed Grant and the Leonardo–ASU Planetary Health Research Seed Grant. She is developing a research-based art project in collaboration with Dr. Chelsea Haines, to be exhibited at MOCA Tucson and the Mesa Arts Center in spring 2026, focusing on Arizona’s water futures.

She holds a BFA from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem and an MFA from Columbia University.
