Ayman Kaake
Born in Tripoli, Lebanon, Ayman Kaake travelled to Australia in 2011 in pursuit of studying visual arts. In 2015, his passion for cinema and photography eventually developed into a body of visual works. Ayman explores diasporic melancholy and the agony of exile through contemplative portraiture and sculptural, styled poses. His many accomplishments include being a 2022 finalist at the National Photographic Portrait Prize and Bowness Prize, the winner of Midsumma and Australia Post Award, the winner of the Small Work Art Prize at Brunswick Street Gallery, the recipient of Room to Create resident at Collingwood Yards 2020.
