A self-described “nomadic” artist, photographer, and filmmaker, Alsharif, born to Palestinian parents and raised in France, the United States, and the Gaza Strip, has lived and worked in Chicago, Cairo, Beirut, Shahjah, Anman, Los Angeles, Paris, and Berlin. Alsharif’s footloose, far-ranging practice provides her a singular, vital perspective on issues connected to the imposition of geopolitical landscapes on human beings, particularly—but not exclusively—as this pertains to the Palestinian diasporic experience. Metrograph presents a program of her films, including her lauded 2017 feature Ouroboros and a selection of her richly layered, scintillatingly splintered, and intelligently interrogative experimental short works.
