Monther Jawabreh
Monther Jawabreh (b. Palestine, 1976) is a visual artist and researcher working across painting, installation, and
performance to explore concepts of identity and collective memory.
Founder of Studio 301 in Bethlehem, he holds an MA in Visual Arts from Dar Al-Kalima University where he serves as a part-time lecturer.
Over his two-decade career, Jawabreh has developed a distinctive visual language blending traditional and contemporary materials. His recent experimentation with cement as a primary medium has added an architectural and political dimension to works examining Palestinian
narratives.
His seminal “Molatham” series (2010-2014) offers a visual critique of regional political transformations, while the “Edge” project (2017-2019) deconstructs his personal archive through cutting and reassembling original works, attempting emotional and temporal liberation.
Awarded the Asian Art Biennale Prize (2018) for his work “Elevation,” Jawabreh has participated in international residencies including Cité des Arts (Paris) and Villa des Arts
(Casablanca). He starred in the award-winning film “Ghost Hunting” (2017).
Jawabreh exhibits widely across Palestine, Europe and the Arab world, balancing artistic practice with community engagement. Represented by Art Zootic Gallery.
