Artist Bio
Malak Manzour is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in the Druze village of Isfiya, Israel. Manzour obtained her BFA from the Mishkan for Arts at Haifa University (2022), graduating with honors.
In her art practice, Manzour works across installation, sculpture, oil painting, graphite, and collage. Alongside her visual practice, she also writes poetry and creates Blackout Poetry, often as an extension of her thematic explorations in the visual arts, which span self and collective research, nature, dreams, mythology, reincarnation, archetypes, ancestral trauma, and lineage. Raised within a culture deeply rooted in ancestral traditions and belief in the soul’s continuity, her worldview is shaped by the Druze concept of multiple lives and accumulated memory.
Manzour has exhibited work at the Autonomous Art Biennale, Tel Aviv (2025); Fresh Paint Art Fair, Tel Aviv (2025); Givat Haviva Art Center, Israel (2024); Parterre Projects, Tel Aviv (2024); Al-Markaz Gallery, Jerusalem (2023); Umm el-Fahem Gallery, Israel (2023), among others. She is the recipient of the Edmond de Rothschild Center for Arts award.
