Shadi Harouni is a visual artist and educator, professor and head of video and photography at New York University, Steinhardt Department of Art. She is a 2024-25 Guggenheim Fellow in film-video.
Harouni’s research and practice weave together modes and media–film and photography, sculpture and site-specific interventions with text an folklore. She works with spaces and subjects imbued with the utopian dreams and broken promises of liberation and revolution. Harouni’s films and photographs, set in time-worn dwellings, factories, and diminishing mountain quarries throughout her ancestral Kurdistan, are intimate studies of histories of erasure and resistance ein the region.
