A visual artist and filmmaker from Gaza, Mohammed Harb uses his art to reflect the stories and struggles of his people. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Al Najah University in Nablus in 2001, participated in the Summer Academy at Darat al Funan in Amman, Jordan, in 2003, and studied at the School of Visual Arts in Marrakech, Morocco, from 2011 to 2015. Harb has been filmmaking since 2005, using various artistic mediums to express the experiences of Gaza’s residents. He has exhibited his work in numerous local, regional, and international exhibitions across Europe and the Arab world.

Harb continues to live under the harsh conditions of Gaza, where his art is deeply influenced by the gray reality shaped by the Israeli occupation. He portrays this through color and his films. Recently, his focus has shifted to photography, video art, and documentary filmmaking, combining art and technology with experimentation in light formation and image creation. He is also active in organizing exhibitions and workshops both locally and internationally.

Over the years, Harb has produced numerous exhibitions, workshops, and films. His film Repatriation Room was part of the Palestinian Pavilion at the 2019 Cannes International Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Robert Bosch International Prize for “Best Documentary Project on Human Rights.” In the past three years, he has worked on projects such as A Biography of Gaza, which has been screened in several Arab and European cities.

In addition to his artistic work, Harb has received several grants and residencies. His most recent residency was in Switzerland, nominated by the Pro Helvetia Foundation in collaboration with Lago Mio in Lugano, where he created a series of new artworks. Harb is also the founder and general supervisor of the International Video Art Festival – Gaza, now in its fourth year.

At the start of the war, Mohammed and his family were displaced to the south after his family's and sister's houses were bombed, resulting in the loss of 10 family members, including his sister and her children. He later returned to Gaza, where he now lives in a tent after his studio was destroyed in an airstrike, leading to the loss of many of his artworks.
