Joyce Joumaa
Born in 1998, Joyce Joumaa is a video artist and writer based between Beirut and Montreal. After growing up in Lebanon, she pursued a BFA in Film Studies at Concordia University in Canada. Her work focuses on microhistories within Lebanon as a way to understand how past structures inform the present moment. Central to her practice is an interest towards the political charge inscribed in spaces and the social psychology that unfolds out of this tension. Her current research revolves around the post-colonial education system in Lebanon and the maritime border conflict with Israel. Her work was shown at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, FOFA Gallery and Dazibao. She was a finalist for the 2023 Prix Pierre Ayot and the recipient of the 2023 Bourse Plein-Sud. In 2022 she was the recipient of the Emerging Curator Residency at the CCA. She is a guest artist at the 60th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, Foreigners Everywhere, and presented a solo exhibition at the Plein Sud Exhibition Centre in May 2024.
