Jumana Manna
Visual artist based in Berlin. Working in film and sculpture, her work explores how power is articulated through relationships, often focusing on the body and materiality in relation to narratives of nationalism and histories of place. Manna has exhibited at Henie Onstad Museum, Norway, 2018; Mercer Union, Toronto, 2017; Malmö Konsthall, 2016; Beirut Art Center, Lebanon, 2015; Chisenhale Gallery, London, 2015; SculptureCenter, New York, 2014; and Kunsthall Oslo, 2013. She has participated in group exhibitions such as Centre Pompidou and Satellite 10, Jeu de Paume, Paris, both in 2017; Nordic Pavilion, 57th International Art Exhibition, Venice Biennale, 2016; Kunsthalle Wien, 2016; Liverpool Biennial 2016, Marrakech Biennale 6, 2016; 20th Biennale of Sydney, 2016; and Jerusalem Show VII and VIII, Al-Ma’mal Foundation, 2014 and 2016.

About the works:

- The Goodness Regime
In collaboration with Sille Storihle, 21min, 2013
The Goodness Regime is a creative documentary exploring the myths and images that have enabled an understanding of Norway as a nation of peace and benevolence. The binding element is a se- ries of enactments by children that recount the myths, historical events and cultural personas that have propelled the image of Norway as a peace nation.These stagings are weaved together with archival footage, political speeches and voice-overs from Hollywood films describing the quint- essential Norway. In a satirical deconstruction of the Goodness Regime that permeates Norwegian society, we explore the moral dilemmas embedded within the history of one of the wealthiest nations on earth.

- Blessed Blessed Oblivion
21min, 2010
BLESSED BLESSED OBLIVION weaves together a portrait of male thug culture in East Jerusalem, manifested in gyms, body shops and hair dressing parlors. Inspired by Kenneth Anger’s Scorpio Rising (1963), the video uses visual collage and the musical soundtrack as ironic commentary. At the same time psychologizing and seduced by the characters, Manna find myself in a double bind — a dilemma that resonates with the muddled desire that animates her protagonist as he drifts from abject rants to declamations of heroic poetry or unashamed self-praise

- A Sketch of Manners (Alfred Roch’s Last Masquerade)
Co-scripted with Norman Klein 2013, 12min
A Sketch of Manners (Alfred Roch’s Last Masquerade), was prompted by a black-and-white photograph taken in 1924 at an annual masquerade party hosted by prominent Palestinian socialite and politician, Alfred Roch. Upon encountering this image, Manna was intrigued by its theatricality, self-irony and enigmatic depiction of a moment of Palestine’s urban upper-class before the Nakba of 1948. A Sketch of Manners re-stages this moment by inviting friends, acquaintances and family from across Palestine to a pierrot themed masquerade party at the American Colony Hotel, Jerusalem — a location famous for it’s early 20th century colonial aura. The footage from this party was edited with a voice over co-scripted with cultural historian, Norman M. Klein, narrating a semi-fictional account of Roch and his party-goers: a glance into the world of Palestinian urban elites under the British Mandate.Transposing the event from 1924 to 1942, A Sketch of Manners repositions Palestine in the history of global crises and their consequences, allowing Alfred Roch’s last masquerade to unwittingly encapsulate a premonition of the difficult years that lie ahead. A moment from history animated by actors in the present juxtaposes the class structures and contradictions of the cultural scene of Palestine, then and today.
