ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Roles and artistic approach:

- Volunteer graphic designer and artist at Tanarout Organization for Libyan Creativity
- Director of the Tanarout Art Space Project funded by Goethe-Institute
- Volunteer artist and artistic coordinator at Tajarrod for Architecture and Art Foundation
- Director of the Fine Arts Space of the Hesa 6 project funded by AFAC

Her practice is emphasizing the concept of the self, the need to feel that right and feelings must be expressed. Moreover, her artistic activity is an attempt to confront the genius in repression, terrorism of all kinds (change – break – evasion – absolute non-acceptance) of social norms. Enabling the community to move forward by conveying feelings and reversing issues as they are perceived and not as they are known. That is, confronting excessive familiarity with it, alerting to this familiarity with feelings and issues where coexistence occurs to the point of underestimating their importance of even forgetting the truth about them and their impact, and looking without awareness of it.
