Maha Yammine (Lebanon) works with different mediums, mainly video, performance and installation. Her practice supports a reflection at the intersection of several horizons – political, social, cultural, and historical – that extends from the particular to the common. Yammine collects and reactivates stories lived by people. Through her artistic practice, she aims to transform nostalgic contemplation into new forms, actions and experiences. Yammine obtained her MFA in painting from the Lebanese University, Beirut, Lebanon (2014) and received a MA from the ESAD Valenciennes, France (2016). She was part of the “Cité internationale des arts” art residency in Paris (2017) Post-diplome Art at ENSBA, Lyon, France (2017-2019). In 2020 she was awarded the Boghossian Foundation Visual Art Prize. In 2021 she received the DRAC Normandie grant.
