Spring 2021 AVAIR Talk: Heba Y. Amin
January 19, 2021 | 9:30 AM PST | Zoom | FREE
The SFU School for the Contemporary Arts is pleased to welcome Heba Y. Amin as the SCA’s 2021 Spring Audain Visual Artist in Residence.
Heba Y. Amin’s practice is based on extensive artistic research which integrates film, photography, archival history and digital technology as well as performance and spatial installations. Challenging colonial narratives of conquest and control, she looks for tactics of subversion and other techniques to undermine consolidated systems and flip dominant historical narratives through a critical spatial practice. Her investigations address the convergence of politics, technology, and architecture, and take unexpected, often speculative, and sometimes satirical, approaches to these ideas.
