Maria Zreiq is a Palestinian community organizer, educator, and multidisciplinary artist. Her artistic practice spans photography, poetry, and documentary cinema, exploring themes of home, body, memory and longing, often through a decolonial queer lens.

As a community organizer, Maria’s practice is rooted in liberatory pedagogy, decolonial cultural production, and the cultivation of queer imaginaries.

She holds dual Bachelor’s degrees in Fine Arts and Philosophy, and a Master’s degree in Documentary Cinema.

Maria is currently engaged in grassroots movements across Palestine and abroad. She regularly teaches and facilitates workshops on the Palestinian struggle and broader anti-colonial movements in international forums, while continuously creating visual art and poetry as part of her cultural and political practice.
