Khaled Barakeh

Khaled Barakeh is a Berlin-based conceptual artist and cultural activist. He graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus, Syria in 2005, completed his MFA at Funen Art Academy in Odense, and a Meisterschuler study at the Städelschule Art Academy in Frankfurt. Driven by his observations of longstanding social injustice, Barakeh approaches creative practice as a tool for societal change; manipulating commonplace visual and cultural touchstones to expose and undermine stagnant power structures. Barakeh has exhibited at Künstlerhaus Stuttgart, The 11th Shanghai Biennale, The Frankfurter Kunstverein, Artspace New Zealand, The Busan Biennale, and MKG Hamburg, among many others.
