Ezra Benus is an artist, educator, and curator who addresses a range of themes—such as time, care, pain, and illness/health—in his art by drawing on his background and experience in Jewish studies, art history, and embodiment of disability. Benus engages the Self as a site where social, political, and spiritual forces collide through tapping into bodily knowledge and social constructions around values of normativity. He has presented works at The 8th Floor, Flux Factory, NYU Gallatin Galleries, and Dedalus Foundation. He was a guest curator at Gibney Dance and a lecturer and consultant at spaces such as Red Bull Arts in Detroit, Hunter College Art Galleries, Eyebeam, SUNY Purchase, CUE Art Foundation, York College, and Princeton University. Benus was an Erich Fromm Fellow at Paideia Institute in Stockholm and the first Access and Adult Learning Fellow in the education department at the Brooklyn Museum.
