Feda Eid is a Lebanese diaspora multidisciplinary artist living in the occupied lands of Wampanoag, Nipmuc, and Massachusett People — so called Quincy, MA. Her work explores the expression of heritage, culture, identity and tradition in the often tense but beautiful space between, what is said, what is felt, and what is lost in translation. She captures these emotions through her bold use of color, textiles, adornment and pop culture linking the past and present. As the daughter of Lebanese immigrants who fled the country’s “civil war” in 1982, Feda is guided by her family’s journey, her childhood growing up as an Arab and Muslim in the US and the colonial borders imposed on her ancestors.

Feda studied Sociology at Regis College and photography at New England School of Photography. Her work has been exhibited at the Peabody Essex Museum, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Lesley University, and The Shed NY among others. She was 2019 Luminary and Visiting Studio Artist at The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, 2022 Artist in Residence at Mass MoCA Studios, 2022 Collective Futures Fund grantee, 2023 Artist in Residence at Eliot School of Fine and Applied Arts and 2024 Foundation For Contemporary Arts grantee. Her recent series صنع في أمريكا was exhibited in 2024 at the Boston Public Library central branch, Fort Point Arts Gallery in Boston, MA, FireFolk Arts in Waitsfield, VT, Gazala Projects in Gettysburg, OH and Selva in Brooklyn, NY.

Feda Eid’s three-year BCA Studio Residency is supported by Wagner Foundation.
