Noemie Arazi was born in Beirut, Lebanon, and studied archaeology at University College London. She has been working in West and Central Africa for the past 20 years. Her practice combines archaeological and ethnographic data with the collection of oral histories and memories, participant observation, and archival research. More recently, she has focused on cultural heritage preservation in connection with infrastructure and mining projects. In 2016, she founded Groundworks—a non-profit organization that seeks to widen reflection and activate access to heritage and history, by working with individuals and groups of people from different backgrounds and disciplines.
