Dima Karout is a D6 associate artist, helping to guide our programme through in depth discussion and conversations.
Dima is a mixed media visual artist who is passionate about contemporary art, collective conversations and the dynamic between artist, artwork and spectator. Her work investigates how visual art allows ideas to grow and take shape in the material world and its potential in implementing social change. Through art she reflects on humans, our values, and the societies we create and inhabit. Her previous work has focussed on human journeys, the evolution of identity beyond borders, belonging and the metaphor of home, the relation between people and places, fingerprints and city textures, displacement and the importance of human connections in times of conflicts.
In the past 15 years, Dima has created mixed media artworks and developed alternative learning programmes as well as curated exhibitions, publications and cultural events in Damascus, Paris, Montreal and London. Today, she is based in London where she has collaborated with influential institutions as The British Museum, Shakespeare’s Globe, Counterpoints Arts, Tate Exchange, The Arab British Centre, Greenwich Theatre, RADA, Play for Progress, The Cotton Tree, Manor House Library, Brent Museum and Archives, The Migration Museum, The Museum of Croydon, and Groundwork London.
