SAMARITUAL is a living cultural ecology building architectures of agency
It begins by extending craft cognition into political, spatial, temporal, and synthetic environments.
ETYMOLOGY

✹
samaritual
A Beirut-born artist-theorist and ancestral futurist, she works through craft, ritual, and emergent technologies as living materials, between Beirut and Brooklyn. She developed Quantum Craft™, an entangled protocol shaped through craft, material cognition, and lineage, where she meets technological systems as mutable material rather than fixed destiny, and holds ancestral, ecological, artisanal, and synthetic knowledge in relation through Silk Road accumulation.
Environment, and the force it exerts on perception, behavior, and who we are allowed to become. She works from one principle: all conditions are material, and therefore workable. Against severance, the cutting of knowledge from its body, its provenance, its relations, and its ecology until what remains is flat enough to extract, her practice keeps memory and culture plural, sovereign, and alive.
Projects take form as Future Ancestors and living counter-archives, mutable, circulatory, and unfinished, tracing how memory moves through bodies, materials, and machines.
Trained in architecture and scenography at Central Saint Martins, shaped by two decades transforming environments before turning that intelligence toward cultural generation, she works at moments of systemic transition, where dominant hierarchies fail and long-standing forms of cultural intelligence, historically dismissed, feminized, or rendered illegible, reassert their necessity. Her work is feminist and Global Majority at the root, grounded in SWANA lineage.
