Nadia Alamah (she/they) is a second-generation Lebanese American visual/installation artist and writer.

 

Previously a Stone Street Resident Artist with Flint Public Art Project, Alamah created Flint Bedouin Tent, and facilitated/taught community-oriented arts workshops. Alamah also served as a Resident Live Painter for the We Can Do It! Open Mic in Long Beach, CA, and most recently held their solo show, “From Lebanon to Long Beach,” supported by the Arts Council for Long Beach. 

 

Alamah’s work combines textiles, paint, found materials and poetry, and prioritizes amplifying stories excluded from institutional gatekeeping in the modern era, with emphasis on MENA humanization in the Western world. In addition to the chapbooks “Yalla Habibi” and “baladi,” they have previously published with Pear-Shaped Press and Rachel Corrie Foundation.  

 

Her work has also been featured in the Bishop Gallery at the Flint Institute of Arts in Flint, MI and the White House Arts Collective in Clarkston, MI.
