I am a Resident in the Digital Curation department within the Johns Hopkins Museum Studies program. I've lived in over a dozen individual nations on a respective 4 continents between 2004 and 2010. I speak Arabic الفصحى فقط and French, and after returning from abroad, I finished my degree at UC Berkeley in Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures with a focus on Palestinian Cultural Heritage in May 2022.
For the last 10 years, I've specialized in the changing gender roles in female North African and Middle Eastern street art, including Calligraffiti, street murals, political and public art - primarily in Morocco, Tunisia, and the Levantine area of Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, and Egypt, as well as, Middle Eastern street art located elsewhere, such as Europe, the Mediterranean, and South Asia. I primarily concentrate on Laila Ajjawi, Suha Sultan,
Mira Shihadeh, Noura bin Saidan, Bahia Shehab, Sarah Al Abdali, Assil Diab, Haleem Kawa, Hend Kheera, Aya Tarek, Ganzeer, Yazan Halwani, and Yazeed al Talaa, as well as fine artists like Shafik Radwan, Nabil Anani, and Tayseer Barakat, just to name a few. I'm based in Berkeley and San Francisco, because regardless of the gentrification, housing crisis, and all the problems the Bay Area has, it's still home .
