Dala Nasser discusses her material-based practice and its examination into histories of ecology in South Lebanon and the wider region. As a material-based artist working through abstraction and alternative forms of image making, Dala Nasser applies an interdisciplinary approach to her works ranging from painting, to performance, and films. She examines the human and non-human entanglement in the perpetually deteriorating environmental, historical and political conditions resulting from practices of extraction and generations of colonial erasure. Dala uses a range of materials to examine histories, ecologies, and toxicity in her works producing context-specific installations. Dala Nasser (b. 1990, Lebanon, lives and works in Lebanon) graduated from Slade School of Fine Arts, London (2016) and Yale School of Art, graduating in 2021 with focus on Painting/Printmaking. Her work has been shown internationally, including Centre Pompidou, Paris (2022); Villa Emplain, Brussels (2021); Beirut Art Center, Beirut (2017 and 2019); Sharjah Art Foundation, Sharjah (2019); Ghebaly Gallery, Los Angeles (2018); Victoria Miro, London (2018).
