Carmel Dor (they/them) is a Minneapolis-based artist and educator. Their research-based practice uses painting, drawing, zine-making, and sculpture to investigate felt time in moments of transition. Dor's recent work is particularly interested in how queer theories of mutable identity formation map onto the Jewish Diaspora and Israeli Nationality as sites of historical and necessarily forthcoming transition. Their work is featured on the White Columns Registry and they were a 2023 Ortega y Gasset Projects Artist to Watch. They received grants from the Tyler School of Art to complete their artist books Economy of the Droplet (2022) and Kur Hituch (2023) and were also chosen for the Duckworth Scholar’s Studio Makerspace Residency in the summer of 2024. They are currently an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Hamline University and have previously taught at the Tyler School of Art and Moore College of Art and Design. Dor has degrees in Art and Art History from the University of California, Davis, and an MFA from the Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University.
