Academic CV

Noa Miro is a PhD Candidate at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a Research Associate at Belongings.

In 2022, she earned a Curator Diploma in Museology Studies at the Bezalel Academy of Arts & Design in Jerusalem and at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. After completing her M.A. in Policy & Theory of the Arts at the Bezalel Academy of Arts & Design in Jerusalem in 2021, she has worked as an independent art curator.

Her master's thesis, completed in Folklore and Folk Culture Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, was supported by a Volkswagen Foundation scholarship within the research group "Postcarding Culture in Times of Upheavals." The thesis titled, "I Don't Have Much to Jot Down": Postcards and Postcard Culture in the Annual "Havraa" (Convalescence Vacation) in Israel between the 1960s and the Early 1970s, examined the internal tensions within the Zionist state-collective ethos through the prism of postcards sent by workers on their yearly paid leave.

Noa holds a B.A. (Magna Cum Laude) in Art History and Gender Studies from Tel Aviv University (2009-2012). She received Dean's Honours twice during her B.A. studies and was awarded an Excellence Prize during her M.A. program.
