Areen Hassan is a Palestinian textile artist currently based in Dubai. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Textile Design and Art in 2018, after which she joined renowned textile studios in London and Stockholm.

She finds textiles to be a flexible medium that allows her to bring different threads into one piece, weaving narratives of resilience, beauty, and transformation, a process that reflects her identity. Heritage becomes the thread binding her art and identity. Drawing from traditional Palestinian embroidery, her works act as living vessels of memory, story, and resilience.

Through a reverse process of unravelling and reweaving the fabric, Areen reflects on displacement and connection. The textiles are simultaneously constructed and undone, tracing pathways of survival and revealing how identity persists even through fragmentation.

Areen has exhibited internationally across Palestine, New York, Paris, Munich, Hamburg, Ankara, Beirut, Doha, Dubai, Manama, London, Belgium, Madrid, and Łódź, Poland. She received the Justus Brinckmann Award in Hamburg and was nominated for the Doha Design Prize (2024). In 2025, she was selected to present her work at Maison&Objet under the Cultural Grants Programme by Dubai Culture.

Her solo exhibitions include By Areen بـيد عـريـن (Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities, The Art Centre, Manama, 2022) and The Mother Thread (Dubai Design District, 2022). She was also commissioned to produce a public installation for Dubai Design Week (2023).
