 tal yaniv is an artist and writer\, most recently of Bloodlines\,  an epic
  and intimate dive into the israeli apartheid regime from the perspective 
 of an ex-israeli/ex-zionist soldier. Born into a sephardic and ashkenazi l
 ineage of in/famous war heroes and pillars for the state of israel\, meita
 l yaniv traces their paternal family narrative from surviving the Holocaus
 t of the second world war to migrating to Palestine and their subsequent i
 ndoctrination as zionist colonizers and defenders of the state of israel. 
 yaniv directs our attention to the cycles of history and how genocide not 
 only repeats but grows monstrously in the crevices of state belonging. Thr
 ough a bold and radical poetics that unsettles language and definition\, t
 hey foreground vulnerability while traversing the nuance of voice and inne
 r forms of address.  yaniv unravels the coordinates of belonging to write 
 in the fissures of israeli identity.  bloodlines is an invitation to conte
 mporary israelis to unstitch the military uniform from their bodies and to
  reckon with their atrocities against generations of Palestinian lives and
  livelihoods. It is also a demand that the ongoing catastrophes in Palesti
 ne end now.  With uncompromising courage and in lucid manifestation\, yani
 v urges israelis to join them in drowning in the wounds of their ancestors
  as well as the wounds they've inflicted\, and in so doing\, bring the sta
 te of israel and israeli identity to "a loving and caring death."\n\n \n\n
 meital yaniv (b. 1984\, Tel-Aviv\, israel) is learning how to be in a huma
 n form. they do things with words\, with moving and still images\, with th
 reads\, with bodies in front of bodies\, with the Earth. they are a death 
 laborer tending to a prayer for the liberation of the land of Palestine an
 d the lands of our bodies. they keep Fires and submerge themselves in Ocea
 n and Sea Water often. yaniv is learning to listen to the Waters\, birdson
 gs\, caretakers\, and ancestors as they walk as a guest on the home and ga
 thering place of the Cahuilla-ʔívil̃uwenetem Meytémak\, Tongva-Kizh Na
 tion\, Luiseño-Payómkawichum\, and Serrano-Yuhaaviatam/Maarenga'yam. yan
 iv is the author of bloodlines. They make offerings through true name coll
 ective.
