Maisara Baroud
A Palestinian visual artist and professor, born and living in Gaza till April 2025, Maisara specialises in drawing and fine arts. He graduated in visual arts from An-Najah National University in Nablus (1998) and earned a Master’s degree from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Zamalek, Cairo (2011). He has also taught at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Al-Aqsa University in Gaza. His art has been presented in numerous group exhibitions internationally (Palestine, France, the United States, Japan, Italy, Russia, Canada, Qatar, Egypt, Algeria, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Jordan, Tunisia, Kuwait, India), as well as in six solo exhibitions, including Rubble (2021), Salt Boats (2019), and Rita and the Rifle (2004).
Within ANFAA/IDEAS, Maisara will continue to share his stories “without having to conform to any norm in telling them, while diversifying the media through which [he] tells them. The objectives of ANFAA fully reflect [his] principles, as they focus on the importance of highlighting alternative and individual narratives, in order to transcend the normative narratives surrounding Palestinian experiences.”
