Emily Jacir’s interdisciplinary practice encompasses film, photography, installation, performance, sound, and text. Her work explores both personal and collective movement in public space, examining its implications on the physical and social experience of trans-Mediterranean geographies and temporalities. Through historical and archival research, she has built a layered and resonant body of work rooted in gathering, community, and social affiliations. Jacir has been actively involved in education in Palestine since 2000 and invested in creating alternative spaces for knowledge production internationally. In 2014, she founded Dar Yusuf Nasri Jacir for Art and Research in Bethlehem, transforming her historic family home into a cultural space for artists, researchers, farmers, archivists, musicians and dancers. This gesture of reclaiming both space and narrative resonates in her practice: rooted, reparative, and generative.
