Hello First Grade
Yehoshua (Shuka) Glotman
2014
Over the years, I worked with Omanut la’am, a government enterprise that brings art to the periphery. I would go to primary and secondary schools all over the country, to lecture and teach. In the process, I photographed quite a bit in these institutions. In many schools there are textual clues to the ways in which the social order is structured and ingrained into the consciousness as part of everyday life. I was interested in the connection between the images I took and these texts. The idea was not to document a specific place, but to use whatever I find as a general metaphor.

Yehoshua (Shuka) Glotman was born in 1953 in Tel Aviv-Jaffa and lives and works in Abirim in the western Galilee. He is a multi-disciplinary artist, curator and teacher, and is also a facilitator for Israeli-Palestinian dialogue. Glotman studied in the photography department at Hadassah College in Jerusalem and the University of Westminster in London. His photography, photomontage and video work relate to the Israeli reality and its unique inter cultural situations. In 2015, he published a second edition of his artist book An Israeli’s Album, first published in the 1980s and became a cornerstone in the field of Israeli photography.
