Dalia Jacobs is a Palestinian interdisciplinary artist and researcher. Her work is rooted in the exilic Palestinian experience, shaped by years of movement across the Mediterranean. Spanning across photography, performance art, video art, and immersive audiovisual installations, her practice is both personal and political. Jacobs exists within the intersection of grief, displacement, resilience, and love, offering intimate reflections in her practice.
In her work, Jacobs interlinks analog and digital methods to carefully craft memory and archive, slipping into myths and excavating Palestinian figures and stories as she breaches time.
Her research expands through oral histories, embodied inquiry, and living archives, examining how memory is carried across bodies, landscapes, and generations. Through her artistic and research practice, Jacobs considers what remains when places and forms of belonging become inaccessible, and how presence persists across displacement and erasure.
