Susanne Khalil Yusef

Susanne Khalil Yusef was born in Germany to parents that were Palestinian refugees and now lives and works between Amsterdam and Arnhem. She makes immersive colorful installations by combining a wide range of media, such as murals, canvas paintings, textile, ceramics, video, light objects, performances, bronze sculptures, cars, public participation and self-created archives. In these installations she portrays the precarious and dangerous struggle of being a refugee and the issues Palestine faces today. She studied at the St Joost academy in ‘s Hertogenbosch, where she obtained her bachelor and Master’s degrees in Fine Art, and she is currently involved in the Rijksakademie Residency. She has exhibited at Het Noordbrabants Museum, ‘s-Hertogenbosch and Valkhof Museum, Nijmegen; among others.
