Sima Zureikat is a Jordanian-American Photographer who has been based in Berlin, Germany since 2007.

In 2001, she moved to Amman, Jordan worked closely with Jordanian Art Institutions such as Darat al Funun and the Jordanian National Gallery. After moving to Germany she continued to participate in numerous exhibitions internationally and throughout the Arab World including the Singapore Biennial and Sharjah International Photography Exhibition. In 2015, she was awarded a grant from the city of Berlin to create a site-specific light art installation exploring the relationship migrant communities in Berlin, and she continues to explore how light can be used as an integrative element in the face of social and political uncertainties.
