Sarah Shibani is a cultural writer and creative director whose work explores women, objects, and the making of culture. She works across writing, art direction, decorative design, jewelry, antiques, and visual storytelling approaching culture as something lived and embodied: through spaces, rituals, craftsmanship, collections, and everyday beauty. Shaped by life between North Africa and Europe, she developed an early and enduring fascination with Amazigh visual identity its motifs, ornaments, and symbolic language. Moving between cultures from a young age gave her a highly visual and anthropological way of seeing: attuned to local identity and heritage, fluent across worlds. Most recently, five years in Istanbul deepened that sensibility further a city where East and West, ancient and contemporary, collapse into each other daily. In Tripoli, she founded Nostalgia Salon, a cultural space that hosted exhibitions, artistic evenings, and public programming including Lella, an exhibition honoring the Libyan Amazigh woman. As a visual artist and art director, she is known for creating experiences rather than projects, atmospheres, narratives, and spaces that carry both elegance and story, honoring culture while reimagining it for a contemporary eye. Her work centers on the ways identity and memory are preserved and transmitted across generations, often through the unseen aesthetic intelligence of women. She is currently building a long term body of work including her first book on that theme.
