The artist and filmmaker has been running her own arts centre in Bethlehem since 2014, inviting an international range of artists (including Trevor Paglen, Jumana Manna and Rick Lowe) to make art and take part in talks and workshops. This year Adam Rouhana produced a series of photographs while working at the Ottoman-era building, while Chris Harding issued a publication based on biweekly meetings with Palestinian scholars and artists he held at the centre last year. ‘Dance, farming, sound, music, and rhythm are forms of poetry, resistance, and sustenance for us,’ Jacir told Artnet, all of which could be found in South West Bank: Landworks, Collective Action and Sound, a group show the artist organised during the Venice Biennale, featuring work by Jacir herself, Manna and Michael Rakowitz, among others, and countering the erasure of Palestinian culture by Israeli forces. Jacir, who had a Berlin talk cancelled last year following the Hamas attack on 7 October, told the Democracy Now! podcast that her work protests the “harassment, baseless smear campaigns, cancelling shows, cancelling talks” conducted against Palestinian artists.
