Noor Abed

Noor Abed (*1988, Jerusalem, Palestine) works at the intersection of performance and film. Her practice examines notions of social choreographies and collective formations, combining the forms of the “staged” and the “documentary.” In 2020 she cofounded the School of Intrusions, an independent educational collective in Ramallah, Palestine. Abed was an assistant curator of documenta fifteen in Kassel (2021–22) and an artist in residence at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam (2022–24). She received the Han Nefkens Foundation/Museu Tàpies Film Production Grant in 2022, and her film A Night We Held Between was awarded first prize in the 2024 e-flux Film Award. Abed received the grand prize at the 36th Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts 2025, and her book Stars at Midday was published by Occasional Papers in October 2024.
