Dar Yusuf Nasri Jacir for Art and Research
Emily Jacir
Dar Yusuf Nasri Jacir for Art and Research is an autonomous cultural centre located in our family home, built by my great-great-grandfather al-Mukhtar Yusuf Jacir in 1890 in Bethlehem. This multi-faceted project is devoted to educational, cultural and research activities in a building in which the history and contemporary conditions of Bethlehem meet, enabling the production of new works of art and a vision towards the future. It is a learning hub for the Bethlehem community and beyond – a place to ask questions, exchange ideas, and grapple with our present-day situation.
