Nan Goldin
About
Nan Goldin is a Jewish American photographer and artist known for deeply personal images documenting her friends, lovers, and chosen family, and for her later activism around HIV/AIDS, the opioid crisis, and institutional accountability. She has publicly spoken as a Jewish artist about Israel’s actions in Gaza and Lebanon, stating that criticism of Israel has been conflated with antisemitism, that “anti-Zionism has nothing to do with antisemitism,” and denouncing what she describes as Israel’s “genocide in Gaza and Lebanon.” Goldin has framed her recent interventions in museums and public talks as part of a broader concern with censorship and the suppression of speech in support of Palestinians. She has criticized German institutions and others for, in her view, weaponizing accusations of antisemitism against artists and advocates who condemn Israeli state violence, and she has been described as facing institutional pushback over her vocal stance on Israel’s war in Gaza.
