Khaled Jarrar (b. 1976, Jenin) lives and works in Ramallah, Palestine. Jarrar completed his education in Interior Design at the Palestine Polytechnic University in 1996, and graduated from the International Academy of Art Palestine with a Bachelor in Visual Arts in 2011, and from the University of Arizona with an MFA in 2019. With photographs, videos, installations, films, and performances that are focused on his native Palestine, artist Khaled Jarrar explores the impact of modern-day power struggles on ordinary citizens while seeking to maximize the social potential of artistic interventions. Over the last decade, Jarrar has used the subject of Palestine, particularly the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, as a starting point for larger investigations of militariszed societies, including the gendered spaces of violence and the links between economic and state powers that fuel and profit from war or political conflict. Selected solo exhibitions include those at MOCA (Tucson, USA), Ayyam Gallery Al Quoz (Dubai, United Arab Emirates), Art Bärtschi & Cie, now Wilde (Geneva, Switzerland), and Galerie Polaris (Paris, France). Recent group exhibitions include those at Qattan Foundation (Ramallah, Palestine), Whitechapel Gallery (London, UK), MuCEM – The Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations (Marseille, France), Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College (New York, USA), 57th Venice Biennale (France), La Triennale di Milano (Italy), New Museum (New York City, USA), 15th Jakarta Biennale (India), 7th Berlin Biennale (Germany), and London Film Festival (UK).
