The artist Kubra Khademi (b. 1989) lives in Paris and focuses in
her work on her life as a woman and a person with direct experience
as a refugee. This makes it both political and highly topical.
Multi-faceted themes pervade her art, including her function as
mouthpiece and as an element in the fight for the fundamental
rights of women, as well as artistic work in exile and in a Muslim
society. In paintings and more recently with the use of
photographic techniques and embroidery, Khademi presents tranquil
nude female figures that – depending on the angle – can
nonetheless be interpreted as provocative. They are juxtaposed with
impressive performances that draw on the artist’s own physical
experiences as a subject. Khademi focuses her attention on the
male-dominated society in countries like her native Afghanistan and
the socio-political situation there, linking together motifs from
mythology, art history and politics. Kubra Khademi has received
many awards for her work, and this overview publication presents
her oeuvre in all its complexity.
