{{#widget:YouTube|id=fFpTy0GCcNs}}

Khadija was born and educated in the town of Amoude, Syria.  She studied Interior Design, receiving a Master’s degree in 1999 from the University of Damascus, Syria. Since 2001 she lives and works in Montreal, Canada. She had a BFA in Studio Arts from Concordia University/ painting & drawing, and completed her MFA/Open Media at the same university in 2012.

Khadija Baker is a multidisciplinary artist who creates installations that combine video, digital art, sound and animation.  Her work explores social and political themes related persecution, displacement and memory. Having worked with a variety of media such as painting, fibers, and video/moving images, her current research combines these practices to create intimate site-specific sculptural installation environments that engage the senses (sight, sound, and touch.)  Her work breaches the divide between artist, art and public, creating an active space of participation, exchange, understanding and storytelling.
