Fadia Ahmad 

Fadia Ahmad (born 1975) is a Spanish-Lebanese photographer, artist, and filmmaker. 
Her practice focuses largely on creating narratives through her photography. She has created several series of portraits and landscapes, particularly in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

Engaged in humanitarian issues, she released two series of photographs and films about refugees in Lebanon entitled It Could Be You.

In 2002, she began the Beyrouth | Beirut series an homage to the urban environment, complex demographics, and nostalgic architecture of Lebanon’s capital.  Beyrouth | Beirut was originally intended as a traveling exhibition. Its first destination was Beit Beirut in 2019, a historic house museum built in 1924 located on the historic Green Line (Lebanon) which separated East and West Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War. The exhibition was later staged at the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts in Amman.

In August 2021, Fadia Ahmad was a judge on Season 2 of the World Art Collector Incubator, a series dedicated to Lebanese artists launched on YouTube. The mission statement of the program aims to highlight and promote both established and promising artists. 

Beirut, the Aftermath, Fadia Ahmad’s first feature documentary film was launched in 2021 where she seeks to portray the aftermath of the explosion that shook Lebanon to its core. The film was selected in many film festivals, won several awards.

In 2022, Fadia Ahmad was featured in the Larousse (France) as one of the 50 most influential women contemporary artists worldwide. 

50 Shades of Blue, a photography exhibit was the highlight in February 2023, where it features the ways in which the color blue is used to evoke mood and atmosphere, from serene landscapes to dynamic cityscapes.
