Meet Maya Sanbar, a multi-disciplinary award-winning artist, curator, and filmmaker whose dynamic practice is rooted in the power of storytelling. Blending installation, sculpture, painting, spoken word and film, her work traverses the liminal spaces of identity, memory and belonging - challenging borders both physical and emotional, with an intention to bridge cross-cultural understanding. British French Lebanese of Palestinian descent, she speaks six languages and channels her richly layered identity to inspire new ways of seeing and feeling. Her art is a vessel for rethinking narratives, and embracing empathy through visual poetics.
Sanbar’s journey began with classical life drawing and sculpture in Paris and evolved into a global practice encompassing film, public interventions, and immersive installations. Conceptually driven and anchored in research, her work draws from the diverse languages, symbols, and visual grammars through which we define and interpret the self. She invites us to rediscover the subconscious codes we live by, and imagine anew through the lens of beauty, curiosity and connection.
