First published 2004
Emily Jacir's groundbreaking work challenges notions of home, identity, and occupation. Through multimedia installations, Jacir invites viewers to grapple with the realities of exile and the Palestinian experience. From retracing the steps of a deported intellectual to preserving the personal effects of a refugee, each piece offers a visceral portrait of lives disrupted by political upheaval. Jacir's art is a powerful testament to resilience, a call to bear witness to hidden histories.
