School of Intrusions is an experimental educational platform in Palestine that aims to develop a space for collaboration by bringing together independent practices of mutual learning. Seeing education as a form of intervening in the world that is not separate from daily life, the platform looks for possibilities for experiential site-based knowledge, formation of communities, collectivism and alternative economies. Through engaging with discussion, thought and action, they attempt to actively intrude in private and public spaces — treating sites, time and knowledge as commons. School of Intrusions was initiated by Noor Abed and Lara Khaldi in 2019.
Noor Abed (1988, Palestine) is an interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker. Her practice examines notions of choreography and the imaginary relationship of individuals, creating situations where social possibilities are both rehearsed and performed. Abed attended the Whitney Independent Study Program in Νew York in 2015-16, and the Home Workspace Program (HWP) at Ashkal Alwan, Beirut 2016-17. She was a fellow at the Raw Material Company in Dakar in 2019, and in 2020, she co-founded, with Lara Khaldi, the School of Intrusions, an independent educational collective in Ramallah, Palestine. Abed was an assistant curator in documenta fifteen, Kassel 2021-22, an artist in residence at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam 2022-24. She was awarded the Han Nefkens Foundation/ Museu Tàpies Film Production Grant in 2022, and her film ‘A Night We Held Between’ was selected as a first-prize winner of the e-flux Film Award 2024. Abed is the Grand prize recipient of the 36th Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts, Her book ‘Stars at Midday’ was published by Occasional Papers in October 2024.
