About me
Hiba G. Isleem
Artist | Architect | Researcher
Hiba Ghalib Isleem is a Palestinian artist working across video, installation, animation, and objects.
Her work often starts from something close to her: a family archive, an old recording, an object, a room, or a road. She follows these fragments to look at how memory changes with time, movement, and distance, and how personal stories can carry larger histories.
Rather than working with one medium, she lets each project find its own form. Moving between images, objects, sound, and space, her work brings fragments from different times and places together, looking at what disappears, what remains, and what we choose to carry with us.
