Maria Zreiq is a Palestinian community organizer, educator, and multidisciplinary artist, born and raised in Palestine. Her artistic practice moves through photography, poetry, and documentary cinema, exploring themes of home, body, memory and longing, through a decolonial & queer lens.

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

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

In her practices she draws inspiration from abolitionist, Marxist and black feminist thought. She’s passionate about live music, underground literature, cooking in community, mountain climbing, and swimming in rivers and seas.
