Jocelyn Ajami (born 1950) is an American artist and filmmaker of the 20th and 21st centuries. Ajami, ethnically Lebanese, was born and initially raised in Caracas, Venezuela. She emigrated to the United States as a child in 1961. She was graduated from Manhattanville College with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, and later earned master's degrees in painting and art history from the arm of Rosary College located at Villa Schifanoia in Italy, near Florence.[1] Ajami began her career as a fine artist. Her abstract geometric paintings and drawings, which included large works such as the {{convert|10|ft|m}} by {{convert|6|ft|m}} "Eros-Thantos", has been exhibited at Studio 36 (a studio gallery in Boston she founded), as well as Chapel Gallery, Clark Gallery, Mercury Gallery, the Brockton and Fitchburg art museums,[1] and at solo exhibitions in Boston, New York City, and Florence, Italy. {{Reduced pull quote |align=right |quote=Jocelyn Ajami’s art is about coexistence – aesthetic, political and philosophical.

Her first video, the experimental "The Tiger and the Cube", was exhibited at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art. After the Gulf War, Ajami made "Jihad", a short video on the meaning of the term "jihad", which Ajami contends refers to the internal struggle to become a good person, not a warlike struggle against other people. This film won an honorable mention at the 1992 American Film and Video Festival. Her documentary "Oasis of Peace", about an Israeli village where Jews and Palestinians live together in harmony, was premiered at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 1995 and won the Merit Finalist Award from the Houston International Film Festival.[1] In 1996 Ajami was awarded a 12-month Leadership Foundation Fellowship by the International Women's Forum in conjunction with the John F. Kennedy School of Government.[1] Her 1998 documentary "Gypsy Heart" examined Flamenco dance and culture and premiered at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.[1] Ajami followed this with "Queen of the Gypsies" in 2002, a documentary biography of Flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya.[8] This film won several awards.[1] In 2008 Ajami made "Postcard from Lebanon", about the aftermath of the 2006 Lebanon War.[10] She won a grant from the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation to show the film at the Dublin Diplomatic Conference on Cluster Munitions where she also campaigned against cluster bombs. Works
