Bio
Muriel Hasbun explores the intricacies and emotional reverberations of identity through art, and uses photography and personal histories as the vehicles for exchange. Through an intergenerational, transnational and transcultural lens, she crafts a language that expresses a shared humanity, while erasing the borders that maintain our “Otherness.”
Hasbun’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Photographic Arts (2007), Centro Cultural de España de El Salvador and FotoFest (2006), the Corcoran Museum of Art (2004); the 50th Venice Biennale (2003); the Centro de la Imagen (1999); and the 29ème Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie (1998). Her photographs are in numerous public and private collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
Muriel Hasbun is a 2006-07 Fulbright Scholar. She is Associate Professor and the Coordinator of Fine Art Photography at the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington, DC.
