Hannah Rothschild is a Canadian-Israeli multidisciplinary artist and curator whose practice explores the relationships between body, memory, material and place. Working across fiber, sculpture, installation, photography and moving image, she often uses organic and symbolic materials — including human hair, soil, roots and found elements — as carriers of memory and traces of lived experience. Through processes of stitching, joining, layering and transformation, she examines what remains after separation, loss and change, and how fragmented matter can acquire new forms of connection and material life.

Rothschild’s recent work has increasingly focused on intergenerational memory, the female body and the material afterlives of bodily and organic remnants. Human hair gathered across generations becomes both intimate evidence and sculptural material, while participatory projects extend these questions from the personal to the collective, bringing women and communities together through shared acts of making. Her broader practice moves between individual memory and collective experience, often considering fragility, belonging, erosion and repair.

Her work has been presented in museums, galleries and textile-art contexts in Israel and Canada, including MUZA – Eretz Israel Museum, the World of Threads Festival, Periscope Gallery, the Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador, Centre[3], and the Gladstone Hotel. Alongside her studio practice, Rothschild develops curatorial and socially engaged projects, including Between Erosion and Hope and Dissociation – Spaces of Absence. She is currently completing an M.Ed. in Visual Literacy at Kibbutzim College of Education in Tel Aviv, where her research examines materiality, curatorial practice and visual meaning.
