Profile
Shayma Hamad is a conceptual and performance artist based in Palestine. Shayma holds a degree in Law and focuses her practice on reclaiming her Palestinian culture. She uses food as her medium, diving into traditional practices and deconstructing them to provide a political, social, and legal reading of Palestinian cultural identity. For Shayma, performance and culinary art is a form of resistance and resilience, a celebration of heritage, and a commitment to preserving it for future generations.
