Feda Eid Exhibition Closing Reception

Thu. Oct. 03, 2024 at 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Join us for the Closing Reception for the art exhibition by Feda Eid on view at Rooted Armory Café. Feda Eid is a Lebanese diaspora photographer and visual artist living in the occupied lands of Wampanoag and Massachusett People – so called Quincy,MA. Her work explores the expression of heritage, culture, identity and often tense but beautiful space between, what is said, what is felt and what is lost in translation. She captures these emotions through her bold use of color, textiles, adornment and pop culture, linking the past and present. Feda is guided by her family’s journey as Lebanese immigrants who fled the country’s civil war and her childhood growing up as an Arab and Muslim in the US.

Feda studied Sociology at Regis College and photography at New England School of Photography. Her work has been exhibited at the Peabody Essex Museum, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Lesley University, and The Shed NY, among others. She was 2019 Luminary and Visiting Studio Artist at The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, 2022 Artist in Residence at Mass MoCA Studios, 2022 Collective Futures Fund grantee, and 2024 Foundation For Contemporary Arts grantee. Her recent series صنع في أمريكا was exhibited in 2024 at the Boston Public Library Central Branch, Fort Point Arts Gallery in Boston, MA, as a solo show at FireFolk Arts in Waitsfield, VT, Gazala Projects in Gettysburg, OH and Selva in Brooklyn, NY.
