Emily Jacir: Resistance

Wednesday 30th of August Emily Jacirs will hold an open lecture. Her projects often uncover silenced historical narratives.

Place: KHiO’s Main Auditorium, Fossveien 24, Grünerløkka, Oslo

The Palistinian artist and filmmaker Emily Jacir work addresses silenced historical narratives, translation, resistance, transformation, and exchange. She investigates personal and collective movement and its implications for the physical and social experience of trans-Mediterranean space and time. Emily Jacir uses strategies related to archiving, writing, video, film, interventions, photography and performance. All of which interweave time, both past and present and the challenges between conflict and exchange.

She has been active in the building of Ramallah's art scene since 1999 and been a teacher of the International Art Academy of Ramallah which has cooperated with The Academy of Fine Art at Oslo National Acadmy of the Arts.

When considering the present state of affairs regarding migratory policies in Europe, and the States, it is important to look to Palestine, as Palestinians are not only one of the largest refugee communities, but also the most protracted refugee problem in the world. Palestinians have been waiting to be repatriated for decades. To view current events in relation to this fact is vital, as there is a
lot of knowledge and experience to be gained from it.

Migratory peoples - such as Palestinians, Irish, Italians, Spanish, and potentially any nationality in the world, have established for centuries webs of social connections, have created a form of poetics, and a way of being in the world and transforming it; have fulfilled new and strong forms of community, and have refused to comply to what was imposed on them, therefore giving a new worth to the word RESISTANCE.

Emily Jacir is a Palestinian artist and filmmaker. Born in Bethlehem in 1972, Jacir spent her childhood in Saudi Arabia, attending high school in Italy. She attended Memphis College of Art and graduated with an art degree. She divides her time between Rome, Italy and Ramallah.
Jacir works in a variety of media including film, photography, installation, performance, video, writing and sound. She has exhibited extensively throughout the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East since 1994, holding solo exhibitions in places including New York City, Los Angeles, Ramallah, Beirut, London and Linz. Active in the building of Ramallah's art scene since 1999, Jacir has also worked with various organizations including the Qattan Foundation, al-Ma'mal Foundation and the Sakakini Cultural Center.
