Oraib Toukan

Oraib Toukan works across media in photography, video, and installation, often pushing public interventions in to her practice.


Oraib Toukan. Can you see me, monologues in air, 2007. Public intervention on rooftops in downtown Amman. Commissioned by Meeting Points 2007

Oraib is a recipient of various fellowships, awards and international residency placements, including Jacob Javits, ART OMI and Pro Helvetia, among other production grants by MAWRED and AFAC. Reviews of her work have appeared in Art Forum, Bidoun, ArtAsia Pacific, among others. She has worked with both Triangle Arts Trust and the Fondazione Pistoletto in pushing studio practice in to social spaces, and has initiated the Shatana International Arts workshop in Jordan, as well as experimental sound/image labs for youth in Jordan. Thread throughout her work is a form of play and underlying irony in situations she creates. She is based in New York City and Amman.
