Rosalind Nashashibi, The Invisible Worm (2024), film still. Cinematography by Emma Dalesman and Rosalind Nashashibi
Rosalind Nashashibi is a London based artist of Northern Irish and Palestinian descent. Her media are film and painting, and paintings appear frequently in her films, which chronicle intimate moments of contemporary life with an empathetic and personal approach.
Nashashibi is preoccupied with looking, in a way that almost crosses over into the other camp, passing onto the side of the subject in a way that can be disconcerting or funny. Her films are punctuated by manifestations of power dynamics and collective histories. Subjects have included non-nuclear family structures, the multiple versions of the artist myth and chronicling life in Palestine.
In 2020, Nashashibi was artist in residence at the National Gallery in London. She was a Turner Prize nominee in 2017, and represented Scotland in the 52nd Venice Biennale. Nashashibi’s films have been featured in film festivals and screenings worldwide including Edinburgh Film Festival, New York Film Festival, Festival Ciné Palestine and others.
