Joyce Joumaa
Joyce Joumaa is a Lebanese Canadian visual artist and writer based between Beirut, Montreal and Amsterdam. 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 space and the social psychology that unfolds out of this tension. She has exhibited at the Montreal Museum of Fine Art, E-flux Screening Room, CCS Hessel Museum of Art, the Sharjah Architecture Triennial, the 60th Venice Biennial and the 35th edition of Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts. Recent solo exhibitions have been held at Brunette Coleman Gallery, the Canadian Centre for Architecture and Eli Kerr Gallery. She is the recipient of the Hnatyshyn Foundation Prize for Emerging Artists and the 2025 Baloise Award.
