Description
The visual artist and filmmaker Lamia Joreige was born in Beirut, in 1972. She lives and works in Beirut. She studied at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her works are an exploration of memory, in the same way archives are repositories of the past. She integrates these narratives with fictional elements to reflect on the overlapping connections between personal story and collective history. The Lebanese war, the way it was experienced by the Lebanese and the trauma it left behind are at the centre of her subject matter. She had major museum shows in Kunsthalle Vienna, at the 9th Sharjah Biennial. Her works have been collected by Tate and other major museums worldwide. She is a co-founder of the non-profit space of the Beirut Art Center.
