Mounira Al Solh is an artist whose practice spans installation, painting, sculpture, video, drawing, text, embroidery, and performative gestures. Through micro-history and mythological storytelling, her work engages with equality and anti-colonial discourse, bearing witness to the impact of conflict and displacement. Al Solh’s work is socio-politically engaged while being poetically escapist at the same time. Her practice utilises oral documentation, multidisciplinary collaboration, and wordplay to explore themes of memory and loss. Motivated by acts of sharing and storytelling, change, and resistance, Al Solh strives to craft a sensory language that transcends nationality and creed.
