ABOUT THE ARTISTS
LEAD ARTIST
Rasha Al Jundi (1984) is a Palestinian documentary photographer and visual storyteller. She grew up in the UAE, after which she moved to Lebanon to pursue higher education. During her seven-year stay in the country, she volunteered with the Lebanese Red Cross and worked with a local NGO coordinating rural development programs. Between 2009 and 2021, she worked with several local and international civil society and non- governmental organizations, in the Near East, north and sub-Saharan Africa. Throughout, her camera was her companion and she used it to document stories of the people she served.
Her work generally follows a social documentary pathway. She focuses on political, social, and cultural issues and seeks to illustrate those stories that she personally connects with.
