Info and examples of my art work:


Art media and themes: The themes of my work range from communal histories, personal identities, issues related to
the built environment and architecture, marginalized communities, and empowerment through art. My main artistic
practice is installation and urban interventions in/for which I use sculpture, films and screening, photography, and
performance.

Collaborative work with diverse publics: Most of my work can be classified as participatory / pedagogical art and is
created collaboratively with other artists or communities in formal and non-formal sites. I have worked with various
age groups (from primary school children to pensioners), nationalities (Israelis and Palestinians) and ethnic groups
(Middle Eastern, Europeans and Africans). In addition, I have carried out urban interventions that aim to create tem-
porary communities around the artwork itself.
