Artiste visuel. Techniques mixtes et image numérique fixe et en mouvement. Passionné du langage, de communication. Ma pratique de création visuelle s’enrichit de l’hybridation de médiums et techniques, m’intéressant particulièrement au dessin, la peinture, la photo et la vidéo. Mon travail tourne autour des questions sur les conditions de production d‘images et de représentations du corps humain, des processus sociaux et des émotions dans un contexte où les discussions de race, de genre et de pouvoir soulignent l’inefficacité, voire la violence des modèles de représentation et de comportement qui prétendent être universels.

Khadija Baker is a Montreal-based, multidisciplinary artist of Kurdish-Syrian descent (born 1973 in Amuda, Syria). Baker immigrated to Canada from Syria in 2001; she completed her MFA studies at Concordia University 2012. She is a core member of the Centre for Oral History & Digital Storytelling (COHDS) at Concordia University. Her installations investigate social and political themes centered on the uncertainty of home as it relates to persecution, identity, displacement, and memory. As a witness to traumatic events, unsettled feelings of home are a part of her experience. Her multidisciplinary installations often combine textiles, sculpture, performance, sound and video, and involve participative storytelling and performance to create active spaces for greater understanding. Baker continues her research creation at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture (CISSC) at Concordia University. She was awarded Rewilding Arts Prize by David Suzuki Foundation and Rewilding Magazine. Most recently she was awarded Miriam Aaron Roland Family Scholarship for her research creation at Concordia University.

Depuis plusieurs années, j'œuvre dans le but de développer et de traduire mes connaissances en costumes de scène vers l’ère des opérations numériques. Je suis dotée d'une énorme créativité quand vient le temps de jumeler les nouvelles technologies aux beaux-arts.
