Naziha Arebi was born in 1984 to a Libyan father and English mother. She grew up in Hastings, United Kingdom. Having trained in the world of theatre, she then chose to specialize with an MA in Screen at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. After her studies, she moved to Libya in order to gain a better understanding of her cultural heritage. Current events, daily life and cultural rituals are motifs in her work in an approach that is as much aesthetic as it is documentary. Explorations of the notion of freedom, personal and collective, in the face of adversity have become the source of her work and is a reoccurring theme. As a witness to the political and socio-economic effervescence occurring in Libya, Naziha Arebi works at the cross-section between visual arts and activism. Naziha’s photography and writing have been published in The Monocle, Brownbook, RUKH, Critical Muslim, The Outpost, Mashallah News, Vitra Design and her art and installations have been exposed all over the world from Tripoli to Barcelona, London, Paris to Dakar and the Ivory Coast.
