Nashashibi/Skaer is the joint practice of filmmaker and painter Rosalind Nashashibi and sculptor and filmmaker Lucy Skaer. In addition to their separate oeuvres, the artists have also been creating a joint body of work since 2005. This consists mainly of 16mm films in which their interest in artworks, artists, people and places form the starting point for an exploration of topical themes with which they identify. Identity, the portrayal of women, beauty and its pitfalls, colonisation and political conflicts, amongst other things, are the leitmotifs of their joint oeuvre.
