Anat Litwin, founder of the HomeBase Project, is an Israeli artist and curator based in Brooklyn. Litwin received her BFA from the Bezalel Academy, Department of Fine Arts in Jerusalem, Israel in 2001, and her MFA from Hunter College in NY, Department of Combined Media, in 2005. She is the recipient of the American-Israeli Sharet foundation award for outstanding artists 2001, and the receiver of the Mandel award for young artists. She has served as Director of the Makor Gallery and Artists-in-Residence program of the 92nd St. Y 2005-2007, and has curated numerous exhibitions in public and private venues. Litwin’s installations and paper cut-out series deal with the construction of narrative and myth through childlike means, conveying a provocative yet humorous exploration of identity. In her work she attempts to question the role of the artist and the relationship between the artist and community by creating inspiring venues for display, in which the content of the art work is amplified.  Litwin’s work has been exhibited in USA and, Europe, and her recent Solo exhibition took place recently in at the Inga gallery in Israel.
