Gender and art

The Whitechapel Gallery presents the first UK survey of artist Emily Jacir this autumn. Known for her poignant works of art that are as poetic as they are political and biographical, Jacir explores histories of migration, resistance and exchange. 

This exhibition focuses on the artist’s dialogue with Europe, Italy and the Mediterranean in particular and brings together almost two decades of sculpture, film, drawings, large-scale installations and photography.

Darat al Funun presents an extensive survey of select work from Emily Jacir’s oeuvre, including film and video works, installations, interventions, audio works, and sculpture. From Change/Exchange (1998) to Untitled (SOLIDARIDAD) (2013), the exhibition contains key works presented together for the first time, as well as several rarely seen works. This includes two site-specific works that have not been shown since they were created in 1999, Everywhere/Nowhere, and from Amman to Bethlehem (contraband).
