Khaled Jarrar is an artist who has lived multiple lives. He studied interior design, worked as a clandestine carpenter in Nazareth and enlisted in intensive military training to end up as Yasser Arafat’s personal bodyguard for 25 years. He made the shift from the military to the arts by entering the field of photography and eventually getting his MFA at the University of Arizona. Jarrar works in a diverse range of mediums to explore and alternate perspectives surrounding identity, disappearance, and memory, unpacking their narrative limitations. His work addresses global issues in symbolic and transmutational ways through performance, film, installation, photography and sculpture.
