Biography
Abeer Nasreldeen, born on march 1982.
In 2017, I completed my BA degree in the art department and pre-treatment course in the University of Haifa.
I am a candidate for a scholarship from the America-Israel cultural foundation.
I have worked for 5 years as a director and project coordinator at the welfare office in Dalia el Carmel.
I volunteered at the NPOs, the early childhood association, the Melchim association for aid to needy families, the Elem association for children with special needs, in addition to social volunteering in various urban and interurban institutes.
In a time where racism is affecting a large number of people, and every person interpreting it in his own personal perspective; I am busy looking for answers to many questions and myths upon which we have been fed and raised.
In digital painting, I make real life images of us and our lives, as the Druze community and as a minority living in Israel; a minority which had tied its fate with the country’s since its independence.
I try and examine our social perception and our society’s visual perception of myths in the historical and cultural aspect upon which we have been raised for a long time.
Why do these myths still reside in our homes? Who planted them and what are the motives? How dynamics act from one generation to the other? What is allowed and what is forbidden?
My work represents the need to bring this topic to a dialog and even a full “round table” conversation with a thorough examination of every detail; and the personal and social effects on each and every one of us in the modern era.
