Miream Salameh

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting)

When the Syrian revolution broke out in 2011, I co-founded with friends a magazine called Justice, which documented Assad’s abuses in the city of Homs. Due to my involvement in anti-government activism, I was forced to leave my homeland after regime forces threatened me with rape, arrest and murder. I fled Syria in 2012 and moved to Lebanon.

I have lived in Narrm (Melbourne) since 2013, and I work across painting, sculpture, video, performance and photography. My practice is informed by my experience as a migrant artist, reconciling my traditional art education with contemporary cultural practices, addressing issues of identity, displacement, conflict and memory.
