Maissa Maatouk (b. 1992) is an artist living and working in Beirut. Her practice is multidisciplinary, often taking the form of videos and lectures. She develops aesthetic forms derived from real situations in which singular bodies resist the sectarian power structures in Beirut. She graduated with a Bachelor’s degree (2014) and a Master’s degree (2017) in Product and Global Design from Academie Libanaise des Beaux-arts and was a 2019–2020 fellow at Ashkal Alwan’s Home Workspace Program.
