Alia Hamaoui is a British/Lebanese artist based in London, whose multidisciplinary practice combines sculpture, image-making, and painting. She received her BA (Hons) in Painting from Camberwell College of Arts in 2018.

She weaves together layered fragments, muted tones, and lost histories, often blending print, painting, and ‘construction’ to shift between physical remnants of the past and the digitizing of memories. Through this, she explores how images—both printed and digitized—intercept our perspectives on historical narratives and cultural identities.

For 3oubour, Alia will examine methods of deconstructing and inverting Fez’s leather industry, specifically utilising the biological and synthetic byproducts of the leather-making process, blurring the lines between industrial and artisanal labour.
