David Dibiah is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist whose work spans performance, graphic design, music, and education. A graduate in Graphic Design and a member of the Verein Berliner Künstler since 2010, Dibiah is a key figure in Berlin’s cultural scene. His notable work It Lies in Public Spaces at the Humboldt Forum critically explores colonial legacies through rap, prayer, and poetry.

As an educator, Dibiah teaches art in Berlin’s Jugendkunstschulen and works as a guide since 2001 for the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin fostering deeper engagement with art and culture. His work challenges narratives and inspires future generations.
