Nadia Kaabi-Linke
Tunisia
Visual Arts - 2024
Nadia Kaabi-Linke is a multimedia conceptual artist based in Berlin and Kyiv. After graduating with an MA from the Tunis School of Fine Arts, she received a PhD from the Pantheon Sorbonne in Paris. As she has grown up between Tunis, Kyiv, and Dubai, her artistic practice has been influenced by her personal migration across cultures and borders. Her work gives physical presence to that which tends to remain invisible in contemporary societies, be it people, structures or the geopolitical forces that shape them. She straddles beauty and violence, refinement and brutality, as well as the sublime and the vulgar, engaging the viewer in the play of conflicting forces of fear and attraction, repulsion and desire.
