About Victoria Hanna
Victoria Hanna is a multi-disciplinary artist, voice and language explorer, composer, and creator active in both Israeli and international spheres. Victoria works in various media, including singing, text, sound, video, and performance, incorporating them together. Her work explores the liminality of the human voice: language, sound, and speech, connecting the auditory and visual aspects of language. Her video works reflect her continuous engagement with ancient Hebrew texts. The techniques she developed over the years provide extraordinary tools for investigating traditions and musical expressions, endowing sound and words with magical power.
Hanna’s sound and video installations have been displayed in institutions like the Eretz Israel Museum, Jewish Museum Vienna, Jewish Museum Frankfurt, and Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna. Her performance art has been exhibited at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, BAM, and New York Kitchen. In 2015, Forbes magazine selected her as one of the 50 most influential women in Israel. She has been awarded the Rozenblum award for outstanding artists (2022).
