Noel Jabbour was born in Nazareth, Palestine, in 1970. She studied art and photography at the Hadassah College of Technology and Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. She is the recipient of several major awards: a 2007 Scholarship for Visual Arts from the Senate of Berlin; a 2005 residency at the Musée Nicéphore Niépce, Chalon-sur-Saône, Pépinières européennes pour jeunes artistes, courtesy of the French Ministry for Culture and Communication; the 2000 Young Artist of the Year Award from the A.M. Qattan Foundation, Ramallah, Palestine; and artist residence at Ateliers d’Artistes de la Ville de Marseille in 2003 and A.M. Qattan Foundation, Ramallah, in 2009. Her work derives its power from a deliberate affinity with documentary photography. It has a transformative dimension as well: it expands our range of vision and shows us things that are important to see.

Her work has been widely exhibited in group shows in the United States, the Middle East, Europe, and recently in China in Narratives and Narratives Forms, 2012 Lianzhou Foto Festival, Guangzhou. A few of her group exhibitions are Between Appropriation and Interventions (2013), Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanian, Berlin; Lucides (2013), Hôtel Fontfreyde Centre Photographique, Ville de Clermont Ferrand, France; Palestine: Creativity in All its States (2010), Bahrain National Museum, Manama; and Dateline Israel: New Photography and Video Art (2007), The Jewish Museum, New York. Her solo exhibitions include Intimate Portrayals (2010), Barbican Centre, London; Noel Jabbour: The Living Road (2009), Filipp Rosbach Galerie, Leipzig, Germany; and Palestinian Interiors (2008), Diana Gallery, Athens. Her work is represented in major public and private collections including those of the Musée Nicéphore Niépce, Chalon-sur-Saône, France; Zabludowicz Collection, London; Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin; and the Israel Museum, Jerusalem.
