Natural Worker
Leor Grady
2019
The starting point for the book was the documentation of the exhibition 'Natural Worker,' which was presented in 2017 at HaKibbutz Gallery, and was curated by Yael Keini. The exhibition dealt with the story of the Yemenite Jews of the Kinneret Farm, a group of Jewish immigrants who joined the Kinneret agricultural training farm on the shores of the Sea of Galilee in 1912, until 1930 when they were forced to leave the farm and relocate elsewhere.
