  • Jumana Emil Abboud

    Jumana Emil Abboud is a Palestinian-Canadian artist whose practice explores cultural memory and resilience; re-spiriting folklore and interconnected gatherings. She works through drawing, video, textual practice, votive assemblage, spoken word, and the Water Diviners project – where stories are living entities, entangled in water and relation.

    Most recently, her work is featured in Framer Framed’s exhibition Wild Waters: Dams and And Deltas After Modernity (2026) on the inextricable links between water, colonial expansion and territorial exploitation.
