KHOLOOD EID
Kholood Eid (b. 1987) is a Palestinian American documentary photographer, filmmaker and educator based in New York City. Her work explores collective memory, the concept of Home, intersectionality of identity and other themes revolving around diasporic communities by blending portraiture, conceptual and reportage practices using visual art, text and audio. Photography is a form of healing she uses for herself and those she connects with.
In 2020, she (alongside colleagues Michael H. Keller, Gabriel J.X. Dance and Nellie Bowles) received a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for The New York Times Series "Exploited," which investigated the explosion of online child sexual assault material.
Eid has a masters degree in photojournalism from the University of Missouri and an amazingly strange dog named Professor. Professor is a Good Girl. In 2023, the Wet Nose Pawject was launched as an outlet for her obsessive love for dogs.
She’s a member of National Geographic’s Photo Society.
