Bio / Statement:
Muhammad Toukhy is a Palestinian multidisciplinary artist based in Haifa, where he lives and works. His practice revolves around themes of history, trauma, and esotericism. Toukhy’s works delve into collective memory through personal experience. His works combine personal and mundane narratives with moments of fantasy, serving as a method to facilitate a cathartic reimagining of traumatic memory. Muhammad has participated in various solo and group exhibitions in recent years, locally and internationally. Some of which were at the Kupferman Collection House, Lohamei HaGetaot (2023), Umm al-Fahm Art Gallery (2022), Ta’ar Gallery in Tel Aviv (2023), Crypt Gallery in London (2024), CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo (2024) and Wannsee Contemporary in Berlin-Wannsee (2023).
Toukhy is a teacher at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Haifa.
Support: Muhammad Toukhy’s residency is made possible with support from Artis.
