Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger (born March 23, 1948) is an Israeli-French artist, writer, psychoanalyst and philosopher, born in Mandatory Palestine and living and working in Paris. She is a feminist theorist and artist in contemporary New European Painting who invented the concept of the Matrixial Gaze and related concepts around trauma, aesthetics and ethics.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Ettinger is a professor at European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland[8] and at GCAS, Dublin.[9] In 2023, she was part of the Finding Committee for the Artistic Director of Documenta's 2027 edition.[10] She resigned from that role with a public letter intended to open a radical discussion in the artworld, following the administration's rejection of her request for a pause due to the attacks on civilians in Israel and in Gaza and the ongoing heavy losses of life.[11][12][13]
