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 homeland[b], 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: 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.
