Hi! My name is Hiba Shahoot! I’m a Palestinian Illustrator / Graphic Designer. I have completed my B.Des in Visual Communication at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem in 2020, and completed my MA in Illustration: Authorial Practice at Falmouth University, UK in 2024. I use Illustration as my main instrument of self-expression due to its fluidity, easy fusion with other visual mediums, and appeal to a wide audience. Currently I’m experimenting with how hope for the future can be visualized and integrated into illustrated stories. How can we, through illustration and storytelling, find the antidote for our collective nihilism?
My works were exhibited at several exhibitions in Ramallah, Jerusalem, Haifa, Cairo and Taybeh, and her short film “Mirroring” won Best Directing at The Animatex Festival in 2020.
