Lamia Khorshid

I am an Egyptian born artist, educated in the U.S, residing in San Diego, and spending summers in my adopted country of Italy. My work is exhibited nationally and internationally, with recent solo shows in San Diego in 2017 and Florence, Italy in 2013. I teach photography at Southwestern College in San Diego, after teaching at the University of Miami from 2007 – 2015. In my work, I am interested in how the built environment and “place” re-contextualizes our overlapping connections to home, country, religion, and history.

Master of Fine Arts (2007) and a Bachelor of Architecture (1999) from the University of Miami.
