Kubra Khademi

Kubra Khademi is an Afghan feminist performance and visual artist based in Paris. Her work is informed by her life as a woman and refugee. After her piece Armor was performed in 2015, she was forced to flee her home country. She continues her performative work in Europe, accompanied by Latitudes Prod. and develops her drawing and painting practice, represented by Galerie Eric Mouchet. In 2022, she designed the poster for the Avignon Festival and presented a solo show at the Collection Lambert and at the Museum Pfalzgalerie Kaiserslautern in Germany. In 2023, her new stage creation, The Golden Horizon (افق طلائی) ), premiered at the Théâtre de
la Ville, Paris. From October 2023 to February 2024, her works will be on display at the Ludwig Museum in Cologne alongside Pablo Picasso’s Suite 156 in the eponymous exhibition.

Kubra Khademi invites campers to delve into the heart of what motivates their artistic practice, to collectively create a unique performance. What are the socio-political and/ or artistic concerns that motivate creation? How can we link our histories and practices to create together? Over the five days, Kubra Khademi will guide the group through a creative process based on a dynamic of constant dialogue and questioning.
