Salman Nawati is a visual artist who has been a visual arts teacher and a director of arts programs for over a decade. His artistic exploration was fueled by a transformative experience during his residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts, in Paris, while founding the imaginary “Sahab Museum” with the HAWAF collective. He is also one of the founders of the Dahaleez collective.
In his career, Salman has been a dynamic force in the cultural landscape, serving as artistic director of several festivals and sharing his experience as a teacher at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Al-Aqsa University. In addition to his projects, he has had several solo exhibitions, while participating significantly in group exhibitions at prestigious venues, including the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the Arab World Institute in Paris, the Mosaic Rooms in London, Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Aix-en-Provence, the Sharjah Architecture Triennial in Dubai, the A.M. Qattan Foundation in Ramallah, and the French Cultural Centers in Gaza, Ramallah, and Jerusalem, among others.
Salman’s work, spanning multiple media, including painting, photography, film, theatre, and music, deeply reflects the complexity of conflict, whether it is an individual’s internal struggle or the broader social and environmental challenges facing the world. His art is an effective medium for exploring concepts of identity, resilience, and the human condition.
