Mariam Salah
1992 - present
Mariam is a visionary Palestinian artist from Gaza whose multimedia work archives the physical and psychological toll of life under occupation and internal political division. Her projects utilize diverse techniques—including carving, holography, and modern dance—to explore complex themes such as reproductive resistance, the trauma of childhood aggression, and the "disappeared future" of her generation. Ultimately, her practice serves as a defiant act of storytelling that humanizes her community and refuses to be silenced by systemic oppression.

Osama Hussien
Osama Hussein is a Palestinian artist from Khan Younis whose practice evolved from meditative studio work into a vital tool for survival and documentation amidst the destruction of Gaza. His art focuses on the expressive power of body language to translate internal conflict, collective suffering, and the "untold stories" of a people living in a state of emergency. Despite losing his studio and stability, Osama continues to create in temporary spaces, using each canvas as a defiant declaration of his humanity and continued presence.

Dr. Khalil Khalidy
1992 - present
Dr. Khalil Khalidy, a Palestinian physician and multifaceted artist, draws inspiration from his academic pursuits and his heritage of resilience, faith, and innovative optimism forged in Gaza's survival-driven reality. Having navigated decades of conflict and its ensuing trauma, his art is a profound testament to his character and his journey of self-mastery. Khalidy's immersive expressionism aims to evoke sensory experiences, confronting difficult themes by distilling them into animated forms that explore the courage to seek meaning beyond life's inherent struggles. Currently serving as an orthopedic emergency doctor in Gaza, Dr. Khalidy seamlessly blends the art of healing with the science of medicine. His practice embodies emotional alchemy, logical fortitude, and life-saving expertise, fueled by a spirit of temperance. This duality illuminates his multidisciplinary artistry, driven by a pursuit of elevated vision and meticulous detail, evident in both his creations and his direction of artistic endeavors, even transforming chaos into creative expression. Khalidy's mastery spans mixed media, illustration, sculpture, abstract design, SFX makeup, and live drawing, all dedicated to capturing the visceral emotions of life-altering experiences.
