Sirine Fattouh

Lebanon
Sirine Fattouh is a visual artist, feminist and researcher who has taught art since 2005 in universities and art schools in France and Lebanon. Her work moves between video, installation, performance, drawing and sculpture. In 2015, she completed a PhD in Fine Arts focused on Lebanon’s 1990 amnesty law and its impact on collective memory. Through the works of two generations of post-war Lebanese artists, she explored how traces of conflict are reconstructed via documentary, fiction and docufiction. She investigates how memory circulates through fragmented stories and how art can hold space for what remains unspeakable. Influenced by thinkers like Gayatri Spivak and Saidiya Hartman, she reflects on how to listen differently, without reducing voices to trauma.
