Qinza Najm “Still I Rise”

A.I.R. Gallery

This event has ended.

Curatorial Advisor: Tami Katz-Freiman

Still I Rise is an exhibition by Qinza Najm, a New York-based, Pakistani-American artist who works across multiple disciplines. Najm, who holds a PhD in Psychology, creates art that is informed by both Eastern and Western philosophies based on compassion, as well as feminist theories concerned with gendered violence and female subjectivity. The imagery in the exhibition centers on a woman’s body (represented, for the most part, by the artist’s own body) situated within a physically, socially, or mentally constraining space. The body is repeatedly represented sitting, reclining, kneeling, or stretching, either wearing a hijab or else exposed.
