Basel Zaraa is a UK-based Palestinian installation artist whose work uses the senses to bring audiences closer to experiences of exile and the search for identity. His current project, Dear Laila, is an interactive installation that recreates his destroyed family home in Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp in Damascus. His previous work includes ‘As Far As My Fingertips Take Me’, a collaboration with Tania El Khoury which has toured internationally since 2016. It was awarded outstanding production at the Bessie Awards in 2019.
