Palestinian artist Emily Jacir used her American passport to fulfill requests from Palestinians who could not travel freely due to Israeli restrictions. The project involved Jacir walking in both Israeli and Palestinian territories to carry out tasks like visiting a grave, playing football with a child, or simply walking on a beach. This work used the act of walking and crossing boundaries to highlight issues of mobility, access, and occupation.
