Alaziz Atef is a Palestinian visual artist, born in Al-Arroub refugee camp north of Hebron in 1996. He holds a BA in Political Science and International Relations from Birzeit University and is currently completing a research-based artistic graduate project in Critical Studies there, focusing on the role of art in contexts of war.
His practice engages with concepts of visual fragility, Palestinization, and endurance as structures shaped by life under political occupation. Material in his work operates as an archaeological register, where the surface becomes a site of tension between trace, absence, repair and care.
He organized the exhibition Room 14, which presented a body of work that had been smuggled out of an Israeli prison. The project stands at the intersection of art, testimony and lived experience. He lives and works in Birzeit, Palestine.
