Rami is the Founding Director of The Jerusalem Biennale.

After earning his BA (summa cum laude) in Philosophy, Political Science and Economics (PPE) and an MA in Economics, both from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Rami worked for a few years as an economist. At the age of 30 he decided to make a change in his life and signed up to the Fine Arts department of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. Four years later Rami introduced The Jerusalem Biennale - a platform dedicated to Contemporary Jewish Art.

Rami initiated, directed and produced more than a hundred exhibitions, mostly in Jerusalem but also in NYC, LA, Miami, San Diego and Tel Aviv. He combines in his work entrepreneurship, curation, management, and writing. In 2023 Rami was listed by The Jerusalem Post as one of 10 Iconic Israelis Who Call Jeruasalem Home. See HERE.

Hadas Kidron is an expert at managing teams and timelines in all aspects of creative productions, from the visionary to the technical.

She has broad experience managing events for well-respected literary, poetic, dance and other cultural institutions, including Mashiv HaRuach, the Hebrew Writers Association, Between Heaven and Earth, as well as many others.

As a consultant to the deputy director general at Israel’s Ministry for Social Equality and Pensioners, Hadas anchored her commitment to making an impact on important social issues, and has since focused her relentless creative efforts and logistical talents towards promoting meaningful cultural and social development.

Altea is an artist, writer, psychotherapist, and forensic private investigator living in Jerusalem, closely engaged with the city’s cultural and social development.

Altea has worked as a researcher and buyer with Sotheby’s, Kedem, and the Valmadonna Trust Library, now on display at the National Library of Israel. She has written monographs for valuable Judaica, collaborating with Dr. Shalom Sabar.

She serves as an art acquisitions advisor for foundations and individuals, drawing on close relationships with recognized and emerging Israeli artists. She has commissioned and produced ambitious projects with respected artists in Israel and abroad.

As an artist, Altea is interested in figurative drawing and painting, with work in private collections.

“In scraping down to what lies beneath, the artist, psychotherapist, and investigator all risk finding out. In my experience of these ways of knowing the world, it is the artist that knows most deeply, truthfully, completely, and with open-hearted immediacy.”

Altea holds a BS in psychology from Adelphi University, CASAC from Hazelden/Betty Ford Clinic and studied DBT with Marsha Linehan. She is certified in forensic psychology by Reichman University/IDC, and licensed by Israel Ministry of Justice as a private investigator.

Altea’s wish for the Jerusalem Biennale is that it contribute in a meaningful way to unify, to heal, and to restore to Jerusalem that rarified spirit of peace and beauty inherent in her name.
