Artist Bio

Nardeen Srouji is a Palestinian multidisciplinary artist born in Nazareth and based in Haifa. Her practice explores gaps between stability and instability, placement and displacement, and familiarity and estrangement through the appropriation of familiar objects, images, and sounds that transform each, and invite the viewer in turn to reconfigure their understanding and relationship to the world. These interventions seek to push boundaries and challenge the status quo—destabilizing familiar functions and uses to turn processes of critique inward, and to spark further existential investigation. Her recent solo exhibitions include those at Sommer Gallery in Tel-Aviv, Haifa Museum of Art (2022) and Beit-Hagefen Art Gallery (2019). Her works have also been shown in various exhibitions and institutions including: The Tel Aviv Museum of Art (2021); Ramat Gan Museum (2022); The Museum of Islamic Art, Jerusalem (2020); The 7th Biennale for Drawing in Israel, Artists House – Jerusalem (2019); MoBY, Bat Yam Museums (2018); Haifa City Museum (2018); The 5th Riwaq Biennale, Qalandiya International, Haifa–Ramallah (2016); and The Qalandiya International Biennial, Ramallah, Palestine (2012).Her work is held in both private and institutional collections including, Al Qattan Foundation, Ramallah, Palestine (2023). Haifa Museum of Art (2018), Tel Aviv Museum of Art (2021), and the Israel Museum, Jerusalem (2023).
