About Artist
Marwa Benhalim is a Libyan/Egyptian artist, researcher, and curator. She received her MFA degree in studio art in 2017 at the Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas; a BA degree in 2014 from the American University in Cairo; and a Foundation Diploma in art and design in 2010 from the University of the Arts in London.
Benhalim’s interdisciplinary visual art practice is concerned with power systems, their structural manifestations, and language. She utilizes text, sculpture, sound, and video in multimedia installations to reveal how power structures and resistances are reified as what is thought to be completely mundane, everyday objects, actions, and utterances. Her work has been shown in Egypt, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Italy, Mexico, and Spain.
