Rosalind Nashashibi was born in 1973 in London. She studied at Sheffield Hallam University and Glasgow School of Art. Working primarily in film, Nashashibi reflects on issues of community, and the tension between private self and public performance, specifically within communities that are closed off or isolated in some way; these works she often presents alongside objects and paintings.

Recent exhibitions of her work include: Two Tribes, Murray Guy, New York (2016); Electrical Gaza, Imperial War Museum, London (2015); The Painter and the Deliveryman, Objectif Exhibitions, Antwerp (2013). Recent group shows are: I Call This Progress to a Halt, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, LA, USA (2017); Ghost of Other Stories, British Council Collection at The Model, Sligo, Ireland (2016); Corps Simples, Centre Pompidou, Malaga, Spain; Sudoku, Kunstverein München, Munich, Germany; and A Million Lines, Baltic Triennial, Bunkier Sztuki, Krakow, Poland (all 2015).
