Hagar Ophir

is a Berlin-based interdisciplinary artist. Over the past decade, her work has focused on non-linear understandings of history. Through collaborative research methodologies involving scenography, performance, sound, and textile, she engages the potentialities of past histories in the present, enabling different ways of imagining the future.

Hagar often works collaboratively to create knowledge through artistic and educational projects. A long-term project, Bound with the Living, developed in close collaboration with Juna Suleiman, has taken shape across a series of performances and exhibitions in different contexts, including Bound with the Living: The Archive Room (Diffrakt, Berlin, 2024) and Recalling History I, a performative intervention in the production of knowledge (within Errata by Ariella Aïsha Azoulay, Fundació Antoni Tàpies, Barcelona, 2019).

Hagar has presented her work internationally, including at Polin Museum Warsow, Kunsthall 3,14 Bergen, and the Asian Art Biennial Taipei. She collaborates across education, performance, and visual art, including through costume and prop design, and has developed workshops in institutional contexts such as Bard College Berlin. In 2020, she co-founded the Berlin-based collective mitkollektiv. Her work also extends to publications and illustration.
