Joud Toamah is a multidisciplinary graphic designer and artist-researcher from Syria, currently based in Belgium. Her practice spans publishing, video, sound and image-making, engaging with displacement, Islamic cosmology and the re-membering of personal and collective memory. Her current artistic research centres water cultures, approaching water as a site of witness, remembrance and resistance to militarisation and systemic erasure in Syria along the Euphrates.

She coordinates the Advanced Master of Art and Design Research (AdMa) and co-lectures Islamic Ways of Knowing and Aesthetic Practices with researcher Ruth Loos. She has undertaken residencies at Moussem, Frans Masereel Centrum, Futures Photography and Morpho. Her work has been presented at Monty, Photoforumpasquart, FOMU Museum of Photography and Beursschouwburg among other venues.
