Khaled Barakeh

Khaled Barakeh graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Damascus University (2005) and holds an MA from Funen Art Academy in Denmark (2010). His works have been presented in many countries worldwide. Barakeh originally comes from the Golan Heights in Syria, where the conflict has been ongoing since 1967.

Barakeh believes that the overlap between his personal and academic background has had a profound effect on his artistic practice. His works often include references to political issues, and tend to deal with current and pertinent concerns revolving around identity, cultural, and historical matters, and even power structures.
