Mai Zarkawi

Mai Zarkawi, born and raised in Majd Al-kroum village in north Palestine ‘occupied territories’. Jewellery designer and dancer, her passion in art started from exploring the movement of her body. Mai's inspired from the daily life details, culture, traditions, people and stories about Palestine, she is trying to bring the hidden beauty and stories of Palestinian women first, about childhood and stories we heard from our grandfathers and grandmothers, their values in life, the traditions, food, songs and our language. Jewellery can tell a story and pass a message, when you were it on your body you make the jewellery alive.
