Comment: Qaddah does not seem notable, I only found a few sources talking mostly about her. TheNuggeteer (talk) 11:11, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Dana Qaddah (born 1996, Beirut, Lebanon) is an interdisciplinary artist based on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples: Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations where they completed their BFA at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design (ECUAD).[1][2]
Artistic career
[edit]Qaddah's practice focuses on the expression of fragmentation of identities, particularly between the Arab and Western worlds.[1] A constant theme in her work is the idea of generational displacement. This is presented by the abstraction and destruction of one's sense of being.[2] In the exhibition, The Willful Plot, displayed at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, her work presents images of gardens as a "site of tension between wild and cultivated...public and private, and sovereign and colonized."[3] Qaddah's contributions to the exhibition focused on rooftops in Beirut where these are a locations for vegetation and for social gatherings.[3]
Qaddah participated in Plug In ICA's Summer Institute II: BUSH gallery in 2018.[4] In 2019, Qaddah was the artist in residence for PLOT, hosted by Access Gallery in Vancouver, British Columbia.[4]
