Aishath Huda works across painting, printmaking and installation to investigate the relationship between bodies and the environment. By keenly researching the interaction and transformation of materials, bodies, memories, events and time, Huda aims to find ways to transition from a human-centered worldview into a more expansive sense of “we”. She is invested in doing this through and with Water. Huda’s conceptually layered marks reference ecological processes (crevasses forming, shifts in ocean currents, rock formations, and dying corals.)
Huda regards water as her collaborator. Her most recent work addresses the many ways water is abstracted through ethics and aesthetics; how this affects climate literacy, and how climate literacy is connected to human and more-than-human relations.
Huda received her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and her BFA from China Academy of Art, Hangzhou. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally including in Bhutan, China, India, Italy, Spain, Tanzania and the United States.
The exhibition at Gallery350, ‘hold’ showcases some of her conversations with water from 2022 to 2023. The show was open to the public on 1st December 2023 and will continue through 20th December 2023.
