Biography
Raed Yassin (b. 1979, Beirut) is a Lebanese artist and musician who lives between Berlin and Beirut.

He graduated from the theater department at the Insitute of Fine Arts, Beirut, in 2003. He has been in residence at De Ateliers, Amsterdam; the Delfina Foundation, London; and Akademie der Künste der Welt, Cologne, and is a recipient of the Abraaj Group Art Prize.
