About The Artist
Soufeina Hamed (M.Sc. Intercultural Business and Social Psychology) is a self-taught illustrator based in Berlin. She creates comics and illustrations related to the topics of identity, racism and Islamophobia. She also gives workshops and talks on storytelling, empathy and how you can use art to combat racism and hate.
Besides doing art she has been involved in various networks promoting social change: She was vice president of the „Zahnraeder Network“, Europe’s biggest incubator for Muslim social entrepreneurship, fellow of the “Ariane de Rothschild Fellowship” at Cambridge University and Cornell University, fellow of AICGS’ New Transatlantic Exchange Program for Young Minorities and more. Before focusing on her artist career she worked for a non-profit Leadership Academy where she brought together senior leaders from government and private sector from over 25 countries for a Leadership Summer School. Through all of her experiences, building bridges and creating cross-cultural dialogue has been Soufeina’s number one mission.
Soufeina’s works are displayed, inter alia, within the scope of a traveling exhibition by the German Federal Agency for Civic Education, in an online exhibition by the International Museum of Women as well as in the Museum for Arts and Crafts in Hamburg. Soufeina’s work has been covered broadly in international press (i.a. Arte, DW, Huffington Post, Stepfeed).
