Hilda Moucharrafieh (The NarrativeCollective) is an artist, tutor and cultural practitioner based in Amsterdam. Through her artistic research practice, she makes artistic interventions in public space with mediums that are site-specific and stemming from research. Her work tells stories of people that are excluded from the dominant narratives, which are not reflected in the designed spaces of the city, its public squares and historical monuments. She often collaborates with friends and artists with aligned political and social values yet of different experiences. In her recent autonomous and collaborative projects, she has worked on issues of gentrification and exclusion of dissident voices from the public sphere, capitalist extraction of natural resources in the South Globe, and the impact of self-learning algorithms used by life insurance companies on assessing life value in a neoliberal market economy. She received the International Bursary Award at Amsterdam Fringe Festival in 2018 for her collaborative project ‘Tracing Erased Memories’ with artist Dina A. Mohamed. In 2017, she was awarded the 3-Package Deal fund for International Talents by Amsterdam Fund for the Arts (AFK) with the support of Over het IJ Festival, DAS Theatre and Stichting NDSM­.

Hilda Moucharrafieh holds a BA in Graphic Design from Lebanon, and an MFA in Scenography from the University of the Arts Utrecht (HKU), The Netherlands, where she has been a tutor at the Master Scenography programme since 2017. In 2016-2017 she was a fellow at the Home Workspace 10-month program at Ashkal Alwan, Beirut, Lebanon. Since 2021, Hilda Moucharrafieh is part of the artistic team at (A)WAKE in Rotterdam, as well as an advisor for scenography, performance and theatre design in the Design Jury Committee at the Creative Industries Fund in Rotterdam.
