Yasmina Hilal Lebanon, b. 1996
Yasmina Hilal (b.1996, Lebanon) is a visual artist and photographer whose practice moves fluidly between image-making, experimentation, and emotional storytelling.
Hillal holds a BA in Visual Media Arts, with a minor in Photography, from Emerson College in the United States. During her studies, she developed a deep interest in alternative darkroom processes, exploring unconventional approaches to scanning, printing, and manipulating images. These investigations continue to shape her work, inviting viewers to pause, linger, and engage with its visual and emotional layers as they move between stillness and motion, the intimate and the expansive.
Hilal’s work has been exhibited internationally, including The Cutting Studios Annual Exhibition (Doha, 2022), Dear Moon (Beirut, 2022), her solo exhibition I See Me In You at MENA Art Fair (Brussels, 2023), The Age of Dystopia at Dalloul Art Foundation (Beirut, 2024), and The Material Woman with Hayaty Diaries at Soho Revue (London, 2024). Upcoming presentations include Material Conversations at Dazed Global x Mason and Fifth (London, 2025).
Her work has been featured in leading publications such as GQ Middle East, Harper's Bazaar Arabia, AD Middle East, Condé Nast, Jdeed Magazine, It’s Nice That, Mille World, Vice Arabia, WePresent, L’Orient Le Jour, Highsnobiety, Dazed Magazine, NPR, and Another Magazine. Yasmina was also included in the Diriyah Biennale programming in 2025.
