Jumana Manna is a Palestinian artist working primarily with film and sculpture.

Her work explores how power is articulated through relationships, often focusing on the body and materiality in relation to narratives of state-building, and histories of place.

She has participated in multiple festivals and exhibitions, including Lafayette Anticipations, BAFICI, IFFR Rotterdam, Tate Modern, Marrakech Biennale 6 and The Nordic Pavilion, 57th Venice Biennale.
