Emily Jacir

Emily Jacir graduated from the Memphis College of Art and the University of Dallas before joining the Whitney Independent Study programme in 1998. Born to Palestinian parents and having spent her childhood in Saudi Arabia, her multi-media work is an ongoing investigation into the often unconscious markers of virtual borders, – between territories, places, and states.
