Sarah Zeryab

Sarah Zeryab uses moving images, sound and performance to probe, confront and depict narratives of rupture, exile and resistance. Inspired by Palestinian revolutionary cinema, her work revolves around the central concept of the militant image. She draws on her personal experience and understanding of the camp as a place under constant threat of eradication, but one that holds boundless collective revolutionary potential. Presenting her work across mediums and spaces, Sarah's approach to moving images sees no distinction between the finished and the in progress. Similarly, her live sound works repurpose a broad range of archival materials, asking audiences to visualise what lies behind the closed cinema curtain. Always rooted in her own experience of statelessness and struggle, Sarah's work always seeks to offer space for the expression of a collective and liberatory history.
