ABOUT
Asmaa Bashashah is a Libyan architect, visual artist, and independent researcher whose interdisciplinary practice bridges architecture, contemporary art, and social research. Through research-based artistic production, she explores the relationship between people, space, and society, investigating how social, cultural, and political structures shape everyday life.
Working across painting, collage, installation, and mixed media, her projects address themes including migration, housing, women's rights, public space, and urban belonging in contemporary Libya and the wider Mediterranean region. Her artistic process often begins with independent research, field observation, and critical inquiry before evolving into visual narratives that connect architecture, lived experience, and artistic expression.
She is the founder of Hessa 6 Organization for Art's Art Space, where she has contributed to exhibitions, cultural initiatives, and community-based artistic projects.
Her work has been exhibited in Libya, Tunisia, and internationally, including participation in the Imago Mundi Art Project (United Kingdom). In 2024, she was selected as one of twenty artists and content creators from across the Euro-Mediterranean region to participate in the Tae'thir Program, and was later selected among ten participants to present her project at the program's final exhibition in Marseille, France.
She was also selected to participate in the World Expression Forum (WEXFO) in Lillehammer, Norway, an international platform dedicated to dialogue on freedom of expression, democracy, culture, and social change.
