“I concentrate on literature and folklore of the world, with the guideline that one of the mind’s eyes is a telescope and the other a microscope.”

Mustafa Al Hallaj

I am an artist-researcher and curator and co-founder of Sarha Collective, an artists collective founded in 2016 celebrating experimental work from Palestine and beyond.

I’m British and Palestinian-Jewish and I am interested in looking at how colonial violence impacts both humans and non-humans, the living and the dead: objects, landscapes and people. I look at the Palestinian supernatural, unseen realms, oral histories and indigenous cosmologies. My artistic practice spans 16mm analogue film, speculative fiction and poetry, archival research, photography, drawings and installations. To date, I have shared work in collaboration with Palestine Exploration Fund, Battersea Arts Centre, Rich Mix, ICA, Open City Docs, Tate Britain, Southbank Centre, Serpentine Galleries, Falastin Film Festival and many others. I lecture widely, and have presented my research to universities including Cambridge, Exeter, Warwick, Brighton, Screen Glasgow, University of Texas and many more.
