Sarah Zeryab (1991, Damascus, Syria) is a Palestinian artist and filmmaker whose practice navigates archival and militant sound and image across film, performance and listening formats. Through fragmented and non-linear compositions, she explores rupture, exile, and resistance, through collective histories of dispossession. Drawing on personal experience, her practice often engages with the temporality of place—particularly the Palestinian refugee camp, as a marker of stolen land and a site of revolution, a terrain where forms of potentiality emerge. Zeryab conceives the moving image as a continuum between absence and becoming, where incomplete liberation histories can surface and form anew. Zeryab’s most recent work includes a video work titled The Retired Peasantry (2025).
