Farah Khelil

 
Farah Khelil (born 1980 in Carthage, Tunisia) is a graduate of the Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Tunis and holds a doctorate in arts and art sciences from the School of Arts at the Sorbonne. Polymorphous, her work, both plastic and conceptual, draws on the intimate and on philosophical readings. She connects without hierarchy several stages of her work and different processes and materials such as artist's books, painting, photography, video, drawings and installations. She questions the relationship to the image, to the exhibition, to language and to history.
Since 2006, Farah Khelil has exhibited in institutional places, galleries and international fairs. Nominated for the AWARE Prize in 2019, she obtained the scholarship from the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture, Goethe-Institut Tunis and the CAORC-CEMAT.
