Firas Shehadeh

Firas Shehadeh is a Palestinian artist born in Kuwait. He lives and works between Vienna and Tunis. His practice explores worldbuilding, meaning, aesthetics, and identity, investigating the post-colonial condition through the lens of technology, history, digitality, and speculative realities. Working across film, video, and sound, Shehadeh conducts a sustained inquiry into the ways narratives and identities are constructed, contested, and mediated within contemporary society. He holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Shehadeh’s work has been presented internationally at prominent venues including the 64th Berlinale, the Singapore and Mercosul biennials, the MUNCH Triennale, Le FIFA (Montreal), Lo schermo dell’arte (Florence), London Short Film Festival, Images Festival (Toronto), Ashkal Alwan (Beirut), and B7L9 Art Center (Tunis).
