Born in Lebanon, of Lebanese-Egyptian origin, Baladi has lived in Beirut, Paris, London and Cairo, where she currently resides. Her work has been exhibited internationally across the Middle East, the U.S., Japan and Europe, and is part of a number of contemporary art collections, including the Fondation Cartier in Paris, the Museet For Fotokunst in Copenhagen and the Pori Art Museum in Finland.

In 2006, Baladi was commissioned to show a 20 screens/projections installation along one kilometer of seashore on the opening night of the Image of the Middle East festival in Denmark.

One of Baladi's large scale installations, Roba Vecchia, was created and shown in Cairo in February 2006, and has since been shown during Art Dubai and the Sharjah biennial in 2007.

In December 2006, Baladi initiated and directed Fenenin El-Rahhal, an 'artists working summit' on the subject of ‘Territory' in the Egyptian Western desert (www.nomadicartists.com ).

Baladi received a fellowship from the Japan Foundation in 2003. She is a member of the Beirut-based Fondation Arabe pour l'Image. She lives and works in Cairo since 1997. Her work is represented by the Townhouse gallery in Cairo, by the Brancolini &Grimaldi gallery in Italy and by B21gallery in the Emirates.
