Personal Info
- Country of residence: Palestine
Information
Architect and artist Dima Srouji is based between Ramallah and London. Exploring the erasure of cultural heritage – especially through the lens of archaeology, history and traditions – her work is a bold but silent protest, often staged in glass.
After completing architecture degrees at Kingston University and Yale University, she began her own artistic practice Hollow Forms Studio and has taught design at London’s Royal College of Art in London. Through film, glass and plaster, her art projects are often developed closely with archaeologists, anthropologists, sound designers, and glassblowers.
Srouji was the 2022-2023 Jameel Fellow at the Victoria & Albert Museum, where she replicated Levantine glass artefacts taken by western archaeologists and institutions. Her clear glass forms are an attempt to reclaim Palestine’s lost heritage and comment on the history of western institutions claiming other culture’s historical treasures.
