Controversial – the Afghani artist, feminist and activist Kubra Khademi
29,95 £
[UK]
Kubra Khademi
Political Bodies
Kubra Khademi (b. 1989) lives in Paris and focuses in her work on her life as a woman and a person with direct experience as a refugee. This makes it both political and highly topical. Multi-faceted themes pervade her art, including her function as a mouthpiece and as an element in the fight for the fundamental rights of women, as well as artistic work in exile and in a Muslim society.

description
In paintings and more recently with the use of photographic techniques and embroidery, Khademi presents tranquil nude female figures that – depending on the angle – can nonetheless be interpreted as provocative. They are juxtaposed with impressive performances that draw on the artist’s own physical experiences as a subject. Khademi focuses her attention on the male-dominated society in countries like her native Afghanistan and the socio-political situation there, linking together motifs from mythology, art history and politics. This overview publication presents her oeuvre in all its complexity.
press commentaries
Dass ein Verlag die Zeit findet, sich mit dem spannenden Werk einer Künstlerin zu beschäftigen, die dort helfen möchte, wo alles um vieles schlimmer ist als hier, das ist schön.
