Abeer Seikaly is a Jordanian-Palestinian artist, architect, designer and cultural producer. Her practice is grounded in “acts of memory”: journaling, documenting, archiving and collecting. She weaves “narrative threads” from these memories.

Drawing on traditional knowledge in the Arab region, she regularly travels to Jordan’s Badia (desert). She engages indigenous Bedouin women in their craftsmanship of textile weaving and tent making. She views this as a “social technology” for cultural empowerment.

She co-founded and co-directed Amman Design Week (ADW) and established ālmamar, a cultural experience and residency program in Amman, Jordan.

She has exhibited internationally: at the Venice Biennale of Architecture, Venice (2025); Vitra Design Museum, Basel (2024); Qatar Museums, Doha (2024); Science Museum, London (2022); The Miyake Issey Foundation, Tokyo (2021); Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2017); and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York (2016). Her works are in the collections of Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan and the Barjeel Art Foundation.
