Dalia Al Akki, is a Saudi/Palestinian creative joker. She received her master’s in Ephemeral Architecture and Temporary Spaces in Elisava, Barcelona and grew more interests in the field of curation and scenography. She’s passionate and dedicated to learning and teaching, she continues to do her mention in research (thesis) till this day, as she works a full-time job as a creative lead in Diriyah Biennale Foundation.

During her career as a design studio teacher at Dar Al Uloom University in Riyadh, she had found that people are her biggest inspiration. Most of her concepts and ideas come through exploration, research and most of the time during discussions about different topics. She fills emptiness with thought, through a happening.

Allowing the ability to create something that will alter sensations or give an immersive experience is something that Dalia wants to explore. She works with various mediums and materials, the use of the useless is something she very strongly believes in. Her work circulates around narratives that are debatable and transformative. Through research and studying the sites, Dalia aspires to transform public spaces to opportunities for people to intervene. 

Dalia continues to create and develop her own research through many upcoming experiments with installation works and short films, allowing people’s collaborative work as a way to generate social interposition from a distance.
