Ghada Amer

As a multidisciplinary artist, Ghada is as comfortable working with a needle and thread as she is with a paintbrush, or forging steel for sculptures or working on one-of-a-kind garden installations. She began exhibiting her work in the 90s, and her art continues to focus on women equality and female sexuality.  Ghada’s work has been shown at the world's finest fairs and exhibition spaces, including, the Whitney Biennial and PS1 Contemporary Art Center in New York, at the Venice Biennale where she won the UNESCO Prize, at the Johannesburg Biennial, and the Istanbul Biennale among many others.  If you’ve enjoyed Ghada’s story and want to hear more, we have a bonus episode for members where she tells me about her artistic process, and what’s in her creative inbox. You can subscribe in Apple Podcasts or on our website, and you’ll also get extra content from all our previous guests where we offer a deep dive into their worlds. Learn more about your ad choices.
