Hannah's profile
Hannah Atallah (هانّا عطالله) is a Palestinian-Lebanese-Irish multidisciplinary artist.
Atallah has created murals and exhibited work across Baltimore, the US, Jordan and Mexico, earning her recognition in the form of awards, grants, and public acquisitions.
Through her work, Atallah strives to explore cultural assumptions, embrace historically rich artistic techniques with discarded contemporary materials, and foster connections within local communities through workshops and performances.
She harnesses Arabic traditions of marquetry, carpet making, weaving, mosaics, and tatreez (embroidery) to reclaim imagery connected to Arab histories, cultures, and experiences while simultaneously attempting to imagine concepts that extend beyond the limitations of the present.
Ultimately, her work aims to honor lives and ways of living that resist erasure and demand dignity.
