Haitham Haddad is a visual artist and graphic designer whose work explores historical and contemporary manifestations of myth and folklore, in addition to questioning systems of power in relation to the tension between the individual and the collective. His work spreads over different mediums, highlighting printmaking, illustration, video, and tattooing, with an ongoing investment to revisit past histories and test how they can reshape the present. Haddad has been working as a graphic designer in Palestine since 2012, and is the founder “studio mnjnk”, creating artworks for musicians and films, working for human rights organisations and branding local and international arts and culture festivals and events. Haddad is part of multiple local Palestinian cultural collectives, such as Banzine (2012-2018), Mahrajazz (2017-2020), and recently joined Bilna’es (2023-current).
