Mo'min Swaitat

Biography

Mo'min Swaitat is a London-based artist whose career began as a form of cultural resistance at the renowned Freedom Theatre in Jenin. After the assassination of his mentor, Juliano Mer-Khamis, Swaitat moved to London to master physical theatre. His work is deeply rooted in his Bedouin heritage and the oral storytelling traditions of his family. While Swaitat has been a fixture of the international stage for over a decade—notably with his solo show Alien Land—the mid-2020s marked his definitive move into prestige cinema. In 2025 and early 2026, he reached a global audience through key roles in two of the most significant films regarding Palestinian and reform-school history, becoming a vital link between the UK's dramatic scene and the Palestinian diaspora's cultural reclamation efforts.
