Born in the Gulf to parents who were migrant workers, my lived experience has confronted me with the way people, places, objects and experiences are bordered. This, inspires aspects of my artistic practice in which I question how borders are enacted through processes of categorization, securitization, censorship and control.
Moving between the gallery and the public sphere, I create situations that actively engage the viewer, working in mediums that range from sculpture to performance, installation and new media. I am interested in the pedagogical possibilities of art in undoing colonial borders, citizenships and their legal ramifications on mobility. My participatory large-scale public interventions, involve a broad array of activists and community groups to shed light on immigration policies, migrant labor programs, and the housing crisis, among other pressing issues.
