==KhAdija BAker== | |||
Khadija Baker is a multidisciplinary artist who creates installations that combine video, textile, 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. | |||
Her work has garnered many awards and scholarships, including the Millennium Scholarship at Concordia University (2005 & 2006). In 2009-2010, she received the Vivacité grant for culturally diverse artists from the Conseil des arts et des letters du Québec, a Vidéographe research and experimentation grant, and the Joyce Melville Memorial Scholarship in 2011. She received grants from Canada Council of the Arts, in 2011, 2012 & 2013 and most recently form CALQ. Khadija has exhibited in cultural capitals such as Montreal, Toronto, New York, London, Berlin, Marseille, New Delhi, Beirut and Damascus. She presented her work at the 18th biennale of Sydney, Australia, 2012. | |||
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 university2012. | |||
The presentation describes " Don’t leave me I am still alive” a combination of a live performance and animation. I will use the space and life sound effect to create an environment that affects the viewers in a way to become part of the work; they are also invited to participate. This work involves a narrative storytelling and performance to create active spaces of empathy and greater understanding. | |||
