Description

Perspectives from Afgh4nistan» organized by Fondazione Imago Mundi at Gallerie delle Prigioni in Treviso, until January 9, 2022. • About the artist • Kubra Khademi (Kabul, 1989) is a visual artist and feminist who explores her life as a refugee and as a woman through her work. She completed her BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) at Beaconhouse National University in Lahore (Pakistan) where she began to create public performances. After returning to Kabul, the nature of her work on sexual harassment and a male-dominated society forced Khademi to leave her home country (in particular due to a performance where she walked the streets of Kabul with an armor that highlighted the body). She currently lives and works in Paris, where, in 2016, she was given the title of Knight of Art and Literature (Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres) by the Ministry of French Culture.
