dima karout
In 2021 we welcomed Dima Karout to the newly renovated D6 studio as our inaugural Sanctuary and Culture (now ASSEMBLE) artist in residence.
Dima has a long history of working with D6. We met as part of a Learning Lab at the Tate Britain in 2018, and have since drawn on her practice through residencies, the curation of public presentations and as a mentor for other artists in exile on our programme. She joined our team as an art practitioner, then as an associate art researcher in an advisory role, and, from March 2024, as a board member. During this period, she has played a leadership role in shaping our work for ASSEMBLE and artists in exile programmes, mentoring artists, supporting communities, and co-curating programmes with our team.
In these roles, Dima has drawn on her many years of experience in curating and producing exhibitions, managing art projects, and designing publications and public programmes. During this time she has developed specialisms in socially engaged art, cultural heritage, placemaking, innovative learning and creative health. She has collaborated with leading museums, libraries, universities, charities, local authorities, and inspiring art practitioners to develop long-term partnerships, design creative projects, implement participatory practices, and shape inclusive cultural strategies.
