SHEIKHA AL HABSHI Pink Hues Recycled Bag
Sheikha Al Habshi is an artist, illustrator and designer based in Kuwait.
Sheikha’s art is mainly centred around identity and self care as a form of coping in a highly technological age. Being torn between tradition and the constant change of the online arena, her art focuses on women and other marginalized figures seen in Kuwait and the Middle East, and how these figures evolve in digital spaces as well as in more conservative settings. She uses her art as her own way of taking up space, raising questions of gender roles and sexuality in a culture where tradition and privacy play an important role. Sheikha is comfortable working with traditional materials such as paint and markers alongside more digital programs such as Adobe and Procreate.
Sheikha has worked with publications and projects in Kuwait and the GCC. as well as collaborating with international groups and companies such as The Arab British Centre in the UK and TSUNO in Australia.
