Nashashibi’s film Electrical Gaza was commissioned by the Trustees of the Imperial War Museum, London, and was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in Britain in 2017. The film combines her footage of Gaza, and the fixer, drivers and translator who were her constant company, with animated scenes. She presents Gaza as under a spell; isolated, suspended in time, difficult to access and highly charged. She shows us Gaza as she experienced it in the quiet pause before the Israeli bombardment in the summer of 2014. Nashashibi travelled to Gaza with producer Kate Parker and cinematographer and producer Emma Dalesman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosalind Nashashibi is a London-based filmmaker and painter. Her films describe the qualities of experience, things and locations, asking questions such as: how do we work? How do we take care of one another?

She has shown in Manifesta 7, the Nordic Triennial and Sharjah 10.\u00a0 She represented Scotland in the 52nd Venice Biennale. Nashashibi is a recipient of the Paul Hamlyn Award for artists, and in 2003 was the first woman to win Becks Futures.

The UmArts Displacement and Hospitality working group brings together researchers from different disciplines exploring the relationships between host and guest in relation to migration and displacement in the north of Sweden.  Several researchers across UmArts are investigating the urgent relations of hospitality and care involved in moving between countries and cities, from the physical process of moving a house, to rethinking Swedish Building standards, and the challenges of addressing issues of migration and the right to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022 the \u2018Moving North\u2019 project was awarded a New European Bauhaus \/ ArkDes Vision I Norr fund for developing proposals to increase social integration in the city by exploring forms of reciprocity between migrants, refugees and host communities.  Moving North was a cross-sectoral team consisting of an artist, a curator, architects, a cultural geographer, architecture students and the organization Hej Framling. Based on a strong foothold in northern Sweden and with experience of both collaboration and participant-based methods in places with increased migration and relocation, Moving North critically explored how different placemaking processes can promote social participation and social sustainability. Their findings are recorded in the short film 'Folketstad: A city of many parts' 17:40 which address the challenges of restrictive migration and labour laws on people's well-being at a time when the North is rapidly expanding and recruiting a new workforce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Moving North group presented their research at the Transformations 22 Conference<\/a> 'Artistic Research in a Time of Change' at Vetenskapens hus, Lule\u00e5 University of Technology, 17-18 November 2022; and at the European Conference in Ume\u00e5, February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
