Karmel Sabri (b. 1995) in Minneapolis, MN is a socially engaged artist and organizer working primarily with installation, printmaking, public interventions, and parties.  She creates environments which foster meaningful discussion and encourage community healing of collective colonial traumas.

Sabri explores the concept of celebration as a method of resistance through her organization, Dear Gaza 501(c)(3), which from 2015-2019 curated programing, most notably through an annual block party, which provided a platform for artists to engage in a public celebration of Palestinian culture in a context that was never imagined before. Her programming has been supported by The Walker Art Center, The Minnesota state Arts Board, and the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council. Sabri was selected for the Jerome Early Career Printmakers Residency at Highpoint Center for Printmaking in Minneapolis from 2019-2020.
