Dor Guez

Dor Guez Munayer lives and works in between Athens and Jaffa.

Guez is a Jerusalemite artist, born into a Palestinian family from Lydda and Jewish immigrants from North Africa. His work interrogates the intersection of these identities, revealing how personal narratives often interact with dominant historical accounts. For over 20 years, Guez has focused on archival research and photographic practices, mapping traces of change and disruption in landscapes. His photography, video installations and performances explore the relationship between art, narrative and memory. His practice raises questions about contemporary art’s role in narrating unwritten histories and re-contextualizing visual and written documents.

Guez has held over 60 solo exhibitions across leading international institutions, including: Laboratorio Arte Alameda, Mexico City; Felix Nussbaum Museum, Osnabrück; Princeton University Art Museum, New Jersey; MAMBO – Museum of Modern Art, Bogotá; Kunst im Kreuzgang, Bielefeld ; FUTURA, Prague; American Colony Archive, Jerusalem; DEPO, Istanbul; Museum for Islamic Art, Jerusalem; Museum of Contemporary Art, Detroit; ICA – Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; CCA – Center for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv; Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, Massachusetts; Artpace, San Antonio; The Mosaic Rooms, A.M. Qattan Foundation, London and KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin. His work is held in numerous public collections, including: Tate Modern (London), Centre Pompidou (Paris), Guggenheim (Abu Dhabi), LACMA (Los Angeles), Jewish Museum (New York), Princeton University Art Museum, Rose Art Museum (Boston), FRAC Collection (Marseille), Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and Museum of Modern Art (Bogotá), among others. To date, nine books have been published internationally about Guez’s practice, by publishers such as Kerber Verlag, Distanz, New England Press, and A.M. Qattan Foundation. He is the founder of the CPA (Christian-Palestinian Archive) and Director of Seaport: Mediterranean Curatorial Residency Program. In 2023, Guez's studio inaugurated the 'Samira Munayer Scholarship Program,' aimed at promoting and supporting higher education for female Palestinian art students.
