Muhammad Toukhy is a Palestinian multidisciplinary artist based in Haifa. His work draws from personal and collective narratives of his homeland, using them as a foundation to create immersive digital works, sculptures, and installations. Toukhy’s practice blends the political with the fantastical, building worlds that invite viewers to reimagine history and question the boundaries between memory and imagination.
Toukhy uses digital technologies as a means of creating fantastical representations of experience. These technologies enable him to explore the tension between reality and myth, creating new ways to reimagine history, resistance, and cultural resilience. Through his work, he challenges colonial legacies, offering alternative narratives that transcend linear histories and amplify indigenous ways of knowing and being.
His work has been exhibited in both local and international venues, including Ta’ar Gallery in Tel Aviv, Crypt Gallery in London, Umm el-Fahem Art Gallery, and Wannsee Contemporary in Berlin, among others. Toukhy is an alumnus of Residency Unlimited in New York City and has received several awards, such as the Excellence Grant Award from the University of Haifa (2021), the Al Markez Gallery Prize for an Outstanding Exhibition (2021), and the Walid Abu Shakra Grant for Excellence (2021).
