FEDA EID
(Lebanese-American, b. 1987)

Feda Eid is a Lebanese diaspora visual artist and photographer living in the occupied lands of Wampanoag and Massachusett People - so called Quincy,MA. Her work explores the expression of heritage, culture, identity and often tense but beautiful space between, what is said, what is felt, and and what is lost in translation. Using the everyday, passed down and reimagined as openings to ancestral wisdom and the Sacred. She captures these emotions through her bold use of color, textiles, adornment and pop culture linking the past and present. Feda is guided by her family's journey as Lebanese immigrants who fled the country's civil war in 1982 and her childhood growing up as an Arab and Muslim in the U.S.

Feda studied Sociology at Regis College and photography at New England School of Photography. Her work has been exhibited at the Peabody Essex Museum, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Lesley University, and The Shed NY among others. She was 2019 Luminary and Visiting Studio Artist at The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, 2022 Massachusetts fellowship Artist in Residence at Mass MoCA Studios, 2022 Collective Futures Fund grantee, 2024 Foundation For Contemporary Arts grantee and awarded WBUR's 2024 The Makers, Boston's 10 artists of color whose work you should know.
