About Artist
Sary Zananiri is a practice-led researcher. His interests sit at the intersection of religion, colonialism, and visual culture, with a focus on the ways in which social and cultural histories can explicate the political. He completed a practice-led PhD at Monash University, looking at the confluence of nineteenth-century Western colonial imaging of the Palestinian landscape and Zionist narrative. He is working with the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research project CrossRoads: European Cultural Diplomacy and Arab Christians in Palestine 1918–1948, led by Dr Karène Sanchez. He is also the Frank Scholten Fellow with the Netherlands Institute for the Near East. Within this project, he is focusing on cultural interactions between the Arab Orthodox community in Palestine, Greece, and Russia. He is also working with the Frank Scholten Collection, comparing Dutch pillarization to post-Ottoman communalism during the British Mandate. Among other things, he is currently focusing on the queer subtext of the collection.
