Emily Jacir: Europa

Palestinian artist and film-maker Emily Jacir focuses on migrations and returns, losses and restitution. The first UK survey of her films, photographs and installations has at its heart her Material for a Film (2004), an immersive installation focusing on the assassination of Palestinian writer Wael Zuaiter by Mossad agents in 1972, and her search for the writer through the traces he left. Other works pursue journeys begun and diverted, projects abandoned, troubled histories unpicked with great poignancy and an affecting lightness of touch. AS
