Rosalind Nashashibi and Lucy Skaer each have distinctive practices—Lucy Skaer as an interdisciplinary, installation artist and Rosalind Nashashibi as a painter and filmmaker—while together they make films under the moniker Nashashibi/Skaer. After meeting in Glasgow, Nashashibi and Skaer began working together in 2005 when they created their first joint work, The Ambassador. Apart from the films they make collaboratively, they also exhibit works from their individual practices together. Jointly, they have created films ranging in subject matter from the historical representation of women, in works of art such as in Why Are You Angry? (2017), to allegories of life and birth, as seen in Lamb (2019).
