Maja Gratzfeld (*1982 in Saarlouis, Germany) is an artist working across photography, textiles, material processes, and installation. She studied at the Dresden University of Fine Arts (HfBK Dresden), where she completed her Diploma and subsequently a Meisterschüler postgraduate program under Prof. Ralf Kerbach. Further studies took her to the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Nîmes and the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. Her work has been exhibited in Germany and internationally, including at the Bundeskunsthalle Bonn and the Kunstsammlung Chemnitz. She was a fellow at Stiftung Künstler*dorf Schöppingen, Germany. Recent solo exhibitions include Verwobene Echos at the Saxon Museum of Industry – Tuchfabrik Gebr. Pfau, Crimmitschau, and So Small So Humble I Float in the Sea at the Maritime Museum Haifa. Gratzfeld’s artistic practice examines how images acquire, lose, and transform meaning through shifts in material, context, and ways of seeing. Alongside her artistic practice, she works as a lecturer, with an emphasis on critical approaches to images and representation.

Roy Zvulun (born in 1985 in Bat Yam, Israel) is an architect and partner at Granovsky & Zvulun Architects, whose practice spans urban planning, conservation, and urban renewal. He studied at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, where he completed his B.Arch and received an Excellence Scholarship from the Department of History and Theory. He previously worked alongside architect Galia Weiser and Prof. Baruch Baruch.

His work encompasses projects and research at a range of scales, from master plans and policy documents to buildings, public spaces, and conservation studies. His projects include Portrait of Hadar, an ongoing research project and architectural archive dedicated to Haifa’s Hadar HaCarmel neighbourhood. In 2024, his firm won first prize in the “Architecture of Tomorrow” category of the Architecture Award, presented by the Israel Association of Architects and Urban Planners.
Zvulun’s architectural practice examines the relationship between buildings, the histories of their surroundings, and the lives unfolding within them, as well as how archival knowledge and architectural documentation can form a basis for contemporary design. Alongside his professional practice, he conducts independent research focused on critical readings of buildings, typologies, and architectural representations.
