ALYMAMAH RASHED

Lives and works in Kuwait Alymamah Rashed is a visual artist who looks into the discourse of her own body as a Muslim Cyborg, fluctuating between the East and the West. As a Muslim Cyborg, she collides her cultural references of home, between Kuwait and New York, and Islamic spiritualism's history. Her work negotiates her female subjectivity, regional folklore, the everyday banal objects she encounters, and the rapid social shifts she has witnessed, such as the fast industrialization of the Gulf region.
