Spring 2021 AVAIR Talk: Heba Y. Amin

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.

“The region has been controlled from map-making to aerial surveillance, not just in the Sykes-Picot line, but also in the Orientalist image of the Middle East as a vast desert of emptiness, or as a place of ruin and war. The idea of landscape has itself been weaponised.”
These ideas hold together a show that draws on 11 prominent Arab artists, including Larissa Sansour, Wael Shawky,
Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme. Muller says she deliberately chose major artists from the region because of the lack of familiarity with Arab contemporary art in museums in the Netherlands
