SAMIA: Performing Artist in New York

About SAMIA

SAMIA is a Palestinian-American artist and educator whose work spans abstract painting and early experiments in computer-based image making. Active since the late 1950s, she has shown widely across Europe, Asia, and North America, with work held in major public and private collections and appearing in the 2024 Venice Biennale. In New York City contexts, her name also surfaces on Elsewhere lineups alongside artists such as LILLA, Ushka, and Zara Dekho b2b Dynoman. Her approach favors structure and process over spectacle.
