Dima Srouji Palestinian, b. 1990

Dima Srouji (b. 1990, Palestine) is a graduate of the Yale School of Architecture and currently leads the MA City Design studios at the Royal College of Art.

Srouji explores the ground as a deep space of rich cultural weight. She works with glass, text, archives, maps, plaster casts, and film, understanding each as an evocative object and emotional companion that helps her question what cultural heritage and public space mean in the larger context of the Middle East and a focused lens on Palestine.
Her projects are developed closely with archaeologists, anthropologists, sound designers, and glassblowers.

She has exhibited her work at Sharjah Art Biennial (15), Islamic Art Biennial, Jeddah, Sharjah Architecture Triennial, Corning Museum of Glass, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Art Dubai, Dubai Design Week, the Victoria & Albert Museum, London Design Festival, The Palestinian Museum, and the Qattan Foundation.

She has lived and practiced in London, New Haven at Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, Milan at Cino Zucchi Architetti, and Ramallah at the Riwaq Center for Architectural Conservation.

Srouji was the 2022-2023 Jameel Fellow at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Her work is part of the permanent collections at the Corning Museum of Glass and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. 

She is based between Ramallah, and London, UK.
