Samah Hijawi
Samah Hijawi is a multi-media artist (a painter, a performer, an astrologer, a story teller, a researcher and an academic, a cook—it’s up to you to decide).
Regardless of the form through which she materializes her work, her projects are always deeply rooted in historical narratives which are used to re-imagine our contemporary life outside of the radicalized and polarized discourses that direct our lives today.
In her recent project Kitchen. Table., she researches the movement of food practices over time and across geographies, and the body as a site of food memory.
