Alaa Alsaraji

Alaa is a London-based visual artist, designer and creative facilitator. Alaa has worked with various creative and educational organisations as a facilitator delivering workshops to children and adults. Throughout her various roles, her work always seeks to emphasise the value of using creativity as a pedagogical process to address and explore larger issues such as identity, faith and race and the intersections between them.

From shifting perceptions away from stereotypes to bringing awareness of a particular region, the social impact of art is evident and powerful.
