Mirna Bamieh is an artist whose practice explores the politics of disappearance and the construction of memory, focusing on how Palestinian communities navigate loss, continuity, and erasure.
With a background in visual arts, culinary practices, and sociology/psychology, she combines food and storytelling as forms of cultural inquiry. In 2018, she founded the Palestine Hosting Society, a long-term project centered on performative dinners that reactivate Palestinian culinary traditions at risk of disappearing.
Since 2019, her work has turned toward a more intimate exploration of personal and collective memory through fermentation. Working across multiple media, she creates installations that treat fermentation as both process and metaphor, notably in her series Sour Things.
Her work has been presented at institutions including Tate Modern, Kunsthaus Zürich, and the Sharjah Biennial, and is held in collections such as the Sharjah Art Foundation and Institut du Monde Arabe.
