Experimental Tuesdays presents a program of two Palestinian filmmakers, Basma Alsharif and Rosalind Nashashibi. These two artists use poetic, personal, and essayistic strategies to address the experiences of Palestinian people.

Basma al-Sharif is a Palestinian artist working in cinema and installation. She developed her practice nomadically between the Middle East, Europe, and North America and is currently based in Berlin. Her practice looks at cyclical political conflicts and confronts the legacy of colonialism through satirical, immersive, and lyrical works.

Rosalind Nashashibi is a Palestinian-English artist based in London. Nashashibi works mainly with 16 mm film but also makes paintings and prints. Her work often deals with everyday observations merged with mythological elements, considering the relationships and moments between community and extended family. Her films describe the qualities of experience, things and locations. Some questions asked: how do we work? How do we take care of one another? How can we navigate our own institutions?
