Rula Halawani Explained

Rula Halawani (born 1964) is a Palestinian photographer and educator who lives and works in Jerusalem.[1]

She was born in East Jerusalem and received a BA in photography from the University of Saskatchewan and an MA in photographic studies from the University of Westminster.[2] Before turning to visual arts, she worked as a freelance photojournalist for a number of magazines and newspapers.[3] Halawani is director of the photography department at Birzeit University.[1] In 2016, she was given a residency fellowship at the Camargo Foundation, in Cassis.

Halawani's photography is focused on Palestinian life and the political conflicts of the area.[4] [5] Emmanuel d’Autreppe, writing for AWARE Women Artist, suggest Halawani's "first works reflect the weight of everyday life and the inequity of restrictions as well as the state of siege, its large-scale consequences and its media coverage, both local and international." She documents experiences of Palestinians with checkpoints and X-ray scanning machines through projects such as The Wall (2005) and The Bride is Beautiful, But She is Married to Another Man (2016).[6] [7] Halawani experiments with infrared filters and X-ray technology in her works to create effects of distortion.[8]

Her work has appeared in exhibitions in London, in Dubai, in Beirut, at the Khalid Shoman Foundation in Amman, at the Sharjah Biennial, at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, at the Noorderlicht festival, in Rome, at Le Botanique in Brussels, at the Busan Biennale in South Korea and at the Arab World Institute in Paris.
