SARAH BAHBAH

Sarah Bahbah is a Palestinian/Jordanian-Australian Artist

and Director living in Los Angeles. Raised by Immigrant parents,

her culturally conservative upbringing led to a great

rebellion of Art. Over the past decade Sarah has become

renowned for her signature style, giving birth to visually

striking, culture-shifting stories that combine her most intimate

psyche and inner dialogue appearing as subtitles

with cinematic stills. Sarah’s art explores the power of vulnerability

by way of giving voice to the vast spectrum of

chaos and desire in imperfect relationships. She believes in

embracing emotional freedom to break taboos and celebrate

the liberation of guilt and shame. With every story Sarah

releases on Instagram, her cult-like following responds,

leading every series created to go internationally viral.

Through her content creation agency, Possy, she has worked

with the likes of Gucci, Condé Nast, Capitol Records,

Sony Music, and GQ.. In an effort to challenge traditional Art

world norms, she launched a ‘pay what you can’ initiative

making her art more accessible to the public. Since then,

has sold over 10,000 prints. Her art has been exhibited internationally

at 25 art fairs and galleries including Saatchi

Gallery London, Zonamaco Mexico, and Scope Art Basel

before she left to do it on her own. She has self-funded five

international solo exhibitions which saw huge success and

has been featured in countless publications including New

York Times, Forbes, Business Insider, The Cut, Vogue US, Vice

and many more.
