Registration required, opens September 9:
https://tickets.duke.edu/Online/article/emilyjacir
As poetic as it is political and biographical, Emily Jacir’s work investigates silenced histories, exchange, translation, transformation, and resistance. Jacir has built a complex and compelling oeuvre through a diverse range of media and methodologies that include unearthing historical material, performative gestures, and in-depth research. She explores personal and collective movement through time and space and its implications on the physical and social experience. Drawing on rituals such as dances, processions, and games, the artist charts the ways space, collectivity, and memory are claimed.
Jacir has been actively involved in education in Palestine since 2000 and is deeply invested in creating alternative spaces for knowledge production internationally. She has been honored for her work internationally, including an honorary doctorate from NCAD in Dublin, Ireland (2023); an American Academy of Arts and Letters Prize (2023); the Andrew W. Mellon Rome Prize Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome (2015); the Alpert Award (2011); the Hugo Boss Prize, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (2008); and the Golden Lion, Venice Biennale (2007). She is the founder of Dar Yusuf Nasri Jacir for Art and Research in Bethlehem. Jacir was is included in Artnews’ Global Power 100 list, as well as Art in America’s list for the 100 Best Artworks of the 21st Century.
Sponsored by FHI Social Practice Lab & Artistic Research Initiative and co-sponsored by Franklin Humanities Institute, the Provost’s Initiative on the Middle East, and the AAHVS Visiting Artist Series. Made possible with support from the Mellon Foundation.
