Lebanese photographer Myriam Boulos has been awarded the 2025 Foam Paul Huf Award. Her work confronts the socio-political realities of her home country, exploring themes of identity, resistance, and vulnerability through intimate and powerful photographic narratives.
Myriam Boulos, recipient of the 2025 Foam Paul Huf Award and a previous Foam Talent in 2022, is recognized for her profound use of photography to engage with the complex socio-political landscape of Lebanon. Her work delves into themes of identity, resistance, and the personal toll of societal crises, often capturing both public upheaval and intimate moments. Through series such as 'What's Ours,' which documents the 17 October Revolution and its impact, and 'Sexual Fantasies,' exploring self-liberation and resistance against patriarchal structures, Boulos transforms personal experiences into politically resonant visual narratives. Boulos's approach often uses the camera to illuminate what is kept in the dark, but also steps into daylight to document everyday lives navigating corruption and collapse. Her intimate documentation, as seen in 'Tell the Trees to Smile,' captures the raw emotions and resilience of individuals affected by events like the Beirut port explosion. The artist's work is noted for its ability to hold space for the unseen and silenced, acting as a visual journal and a mirror to the fractures within herself and her generation, ultimately redefining photojournalism as a site of resistance and identity. She holds a master’s degree from the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts and has exhibited internationally. Boulos has received numerous accolades, including the Eugene Smith Fellowship and PHmuseum Women Photographers Grant. Her first photobook, 'What's Ours,' was published by Aperture in 2023, and her portfolio was featured in Foam Magazine #61: Talent.
