Lulu Alghofaili is an interdisciplinary artist and designer whose practice explores memory, the invisible forces that shape human experience, and the relationship between the body, the natural world, and our surrounding environments. She holds an MFA in Design and Technology from Parsons School of Design and a BFA in Graphic Design with minors in Book Arts and Sustainability from Otis College of Art and Design. Working primarily with textiles, artist books, and sustainable materials, Alghofaili incorporates natural elements as both conceptual and technical components within her practice. Through processes such as drawing in water, folding, layering, embroidery, and printmaking, she moves between analog and digital methods to translate memory, emotion, and human connection into physical form. Her work creates a visual language where experiences are carried through texture, repetition, and transformation. Alghofaili has participated in artist residencies including Masaha Residency at Misk Art Institute (2025), where her work was acquired into the institute’s collection, and Intermix Residency (2026), organized by the Visual Arts Commission. She is currently participating in the ISDAR × Art Threads Residency (2026). Her selected exhibitions include Coollect, Atrum Gallery, Riyadh (2026); Spiraling Ashore, The New School, New York (2024); Las Laguna Art Gallery (2021); IMPRINT: Emerging Artists, Misk Art Institute, Riyadh (2020); Young Artists Showcase, Misk Art Week, Riyadh (2020); and SHIFT, 2426 Art Gallery, Los Angeles (2019). Her work has received awards from Grey Cube Gallery, Art Room Gallery, the Biomimicry Global Design Challenge, and ITSLIQUID. (Artists of the Month, 2020)
