It is with great sadness that we share the passing of alumna Yishay Garbasz ’96. A Berlin-based interdisciplinary artist, Yishay was widely recognized for her powerful work exploring trauma, memory, and identity.
She often spoke of Landmark College as foundational to her journey, noting that it was here, at the age of 25, that she truly learned to write.
Yishay described her work as being “engaged in a continual process of making the invisible visible, making the unsightly tenderly seen.” Her artwork has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, including Tokyo, Seoul, New York City, Miami, Boston, Berlin, Paris, and London.
Her work was also featured in Phaidon’s “Great Women Artists” art publication, as well as in Prestel’s “Citizen women: Illustrated history of the women’s movement."
