Nishri teaches art at the Tel Aviv Museum Workshops.

She is the winner of the 1988 Oscar Handler Prize for artists and the 1996 Award of the Israeli Minister of Education & Culture.

Her visual artworks are characterized by a strong sense of corporeality, and she tends to use coffee, among other materials, as paint.

[1] Her video-arts and installations usually deal with the construction, deconstruction and reconstruction of a self identity, while bringing up questions about the nature of the artist and art.

The collage nature of her art, endlessly moving from one subject, identity or genre to another, expresses her torn identity as a fatherless immigrant, daughter of a traumatized Holocaust survivor.
