I am Mimo Khair, a Lebanese/American artist currently based in Germany after 12 years in Shanghai, China, 16 years in New York City and before that Lebanon. I have been traveling the world during the last 30+ years in search for my stories and images. I began my photographic journey in New York City where I lived after my studies and have since exhibited and published my work globally, mostly focusing on social issues, human rights and children’s rights as well as street photography and the arts.
I am currently exploring photography, art and motion design internationally and at home in Germany.
