New Works by Sobia Ahmad

Save the date for Sobia Ahmad’s solo exhibition, which will open on September 19th. An interdisciplinary artist with a background in public health, Ahmad’s practice explores the transcendental power of everyday experiences, objects, and rituals through film, photography, and social practice. She draws from non-western intellectual and spiritual lexicons, specifically traditions of devotional poetry and oral storytelling associated with Sufism. Exercising the meditative potential of analog processes and socially-engaged projects, she considers how slowness and tactility might activate our inner lives and allow us to experience social and ecological engagement with greater depth and dimensionality.

More details to be announced.
