Riham Isaac

Riham Isaac is a performance artist who brings together a range of practices — acting, singing, dancing, video and explores new mediums of live performance and multidisciplinary arts. Riham’s practice reflects on what it means to be producing innovative artistic work in Palestine in the current moment. Her work is playful and a profound commentary on a wide range of pressing issues related to gender, politics, and arts.

Riham has extensive experience leading and creating artistic projects. In 2017, she co-directed The Alternativity with Oscar-winning Director Danny Boyle & Banksy which was featured as a programme on BBC Two. In 2016, she directed & produced I Am You, a multi-disciplinary performance that toured Palestine, Sweden & Denmark. In 2014, she performed during Qalandia International Biennale ‘Stone on Road’.

She is an MA Graduate from Goldsmiths College 2013 in Performance. She is also the Founder of ‘Art Salon’ which is an independent art space in the old city of Beit-Sahour and lectures at BirZeit University and Bard college.
