Farida’s practice
utilises racial identity as a lens through which to view the work. The work
explores the politics of hybrid identities and themes of cultural displacement
whilst examining the dialogue sandwiched between differing cultures and faiths.
Her most recent
works have explored historical events of her ancestors’ homeland and endeavour
to create a critical discussion in relation to partitions, territorial borders
and ownership; simultaneously referencing memory, migration and the remembrance
of forgotten conflicts resulting from geographical or social division.
Although a
multi-disciplinary artist, Farida has found herself primarily working with
installations, moving beyond literal representations of a set of ideas and
creating works that are metaphorical. Adding context to found objects within
the installations and the use of these objects as the metaphors has been key
within her practice.
