El Khalil works in a variety of formats ranging from painting, installation, performance, mixed media, writing, video, and collage.

Themes that are central to her work include issues of violence as well as gender using materials found throughout Beirut. Photocopied images of militiamen and women, civilians and family members are embellished with plastic flowers, glitter, strings of lights, keffiyehs, plastic toy soldiers, toy AKs, arabesques, beads, fabrics, and other objects.

She has had solo exhibitions in London, Munich, and Beirut. El Khalil currently lives and works in Beirut.

During the July War in Lebanon, El Khalil immediately began maintaining beirutupdate from her apartment in Beirut. Her blog was a personal account of the siege on Beirut that lasted for 33 days and its impact on her and the people around her.[3] It quickly received international attention and was highly publicized on news portals such as CNN and the BBC.

Excerpts were published in daily papers, including The Guardian and Der Spiegel Online. Her writing was also included in the anthology Lebanon, Lebanon published by Saqi Books. In the aftermath of that war, Zena El Khalil curated with Sandra Dagher Nafas Beirut, a multimedia exhibition including 40 artists testimonies of the war.[4]
