Biography
Amale Freiha Khlat is a Lebanese British artist working across installation, print, sculpture, video and sound. Her practice interrogates the conditions under which we see — and choose not to — through a sustained engagement with screens, theatrical staging, ornament and erasure, memory and historical rupture.
Her work is held in the British Museum’s Contemporary and Modern Middle Eastern Collection. She has been selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 2024 and 2025, and is a recipient of the Gilbert Bayes Award from the Royal Society of Sculptors.
She holds an MA with distinction from the Royal College of Art, London, and a Master’s degree with high honours from Penninghen, Paris.
Artist Statement
“Her practice is fundamentally theatrical: it constructs stages, positions spectators, and repeatedly tests the fourth wall — that threshold between witness and participant, between complicity and reflection.”
