Khaled Jarrar

Khaled Jarrar (1976, Jenin, Palestine) lives and works in Ramallah, Palestine. His work explores modern power struggles and their sociocultural impact on ordinary citizens. He completed his studies in interior design at the Palestine Polytechnic University in 1996 and began working in photography. He gained significant attention for his 2004 exhibition at the Howarra and Qalandya checkpoints, where his photos were displayed to attract the attention of Israeli soldiers. He later expanded into film and video, with his first short video Journey 110 receiving critical acclaim and being selected at several international festivals and art galleries, including Basel Art 41, Instant Video, and the London Film Festival.
