Yazan Khalili

YAZAN KHALILI (PS) has worked in different positions in many cultural institutions in Palestine and elsewhere. Since 2015, he is the team leader at Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center, where he has been working on challenging and changing the role of the cultural institutions, working from within the institutional structure to form an affirmative critique that turns it to become a progressive infrastructure for cultural producers. Yazan received a degree in architecture from Birzeit University in 2003 and in 2010 received his MA degree from the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmith's College, University of London, and in 2015 his MFA degree at Sandberg Institute, Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam — and is currently one of the residents at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. He is an architect and visual artist. His works has been exhibited in several major exhibitions, including among others: New Photography, MoMA 2018, Jerusalem Lives, Palestinian Museum, 2017, Post-Peace, Kunstverein Stuttgart 2017, Shanghai Biennial 2016, Sharjah Biennial 2013.
