 Natan Dvir is an Israeli photographer 
 who has used photography as a means to 
 explore the power of religious and political 
 beliefs.  His project Eighteen, environmental 
 portraits of Arab youth in Israel, will be 
 on exhibition at Brody Hall beginning in early 
 October. Dvir describes this project as "an 
 artistic point of contact serving as an invitation 
 to get closer.... An inside view by one 
 who is typically regarded as an outsider. If 
 I, a Jewish Israeli man, have been accepted 
 and was allowed into my subjects' personal lives 
 - so can others." Mr. Dvir will speak about 
 his projects including Eighteen, Belief, 
 and others, and will discuss the role of contemporary 
 photography in shaping perspectives 
 and in leading social/political changes.\n
 \n
 Natan 
 Dvir received his MBA from Tel Aviv University 
 and his MFA in Photography from the School 
 of Visual Arts (NY), after which he became 
 a faculty member at the International Center 
 of Photography (ICP). Based in New York City 
 he photographs around the world.  Natan's 
 main projects have been exhibited in solo and 
 group exhibitions in the United States, Europe, 
 South America and Israel. \n
