Rabih Mroué has been awarded the 2020 Schering Stiftung Award for Artistic Research (with support from the State of Berlin).

Rabih Mroué is a Berlin-based actor, director, playwright, visual artist, and a contributing editor for The Drama Review and the quarterly Kalamon. He is also a co-founder and a board member of the Beirut Art Center and a long time collaborator with Ashkal Alwan, who have produced many of his performances. He is currently an associate director of Kammerspiele Munich.
His complex and diverse practice, spanning different disciplines and formats in between theater, performance, and visual arts, has established Mroué as a key figure in a new generation of artistic voices in Lebanon. Employing both fiction and in-depth analysis as tools for engaging with his immediate reality, Mroué explores the responsibilities of the artist in communicating with an audience in given political and cultural contexts. His works deal with issues that have been swept under the rug in the current political climate of Lebanon, connected to the enduring marks left by the Lebanese Civil War as well as more recent political events like the Arabic Spring and the Syrian Revolution.

He has had solo exhibitions at Kunsthalle Mainz (2016); MoMA New York (2015); Kunsthalle Mulhouse (2015); SALT, Istanbul (2014); Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo, Madrid (2013); documenta (13), Kassel (2012); Kunstverein Stuttgart (2011); and BAK, Utrecht (2010). He has participated in major group exhibitions at Kunsthaus Bregenz (2020); Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (2019); the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston (2018); Museo Jumex, Mexico City (2018); Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin (2017); MACBA, Barcelona (2015); Performa 09, New York (2009); 11th International Istanbul Biennial (2009); Queens Museum of Art, New York (2009); Centre Pompidou, Paris (2008); and Tate Modern, London (2007). His works are in the collections of the MoMA New York, Centre Pompidou Paris, SFMOMA San Francisco, the Art Institute of Chicago, CA2M Madrid, MACBA Barcelona, and the Van Abbe Museum Rotterdam, among others.
