Liyan is a Palestinian multimedia artist based between New York City and Abu Dhabi. Her artistic practice delves into real-world reflections, examining how socio-political changes influence her politically and socially engaged art, particularly as a Palestinian in diaspora.

Her work has been exhibited in multiple spaces across NYU (2021, 2023, 2024) and at the Mozilla Foundation Festival as part of the Decolonizing AI space (2022).

Beyond her artistic practice, Liyan’s political activism is integral to her work. In the summer of 2024, she joined the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard Law School to help develop educational programs focused on tech ethics and AI. She is currently pursuing a master's degree in the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in Brooklyn, New York.
