Hajra Waheed

Hajra Waheed is a Montréal-based artist.[1] Her multimedia practice includes works on paper, collage, sound, video, sculpture and installation. [2] Waheed uses news accounts, extensive research and personal histories to critically examine multiple issues including: covert power, mass surveillance, cultural distortion and the traumas of displacement caused by colonialism and mass migration. [3]

Waheed was born in 1980 in Canada.[4] She has complex ties and relationships to North America, the Middle East and South Asia. She grew up within the gated compound of Saudi ARAMCO in Dhahran. [1][5] She studied at the Art Institute of Chicago where she received her BFA in advanced painting and art history, in 2002. [6] She moved to Montréal in 2005 and completed her MA at McGill University in 2007. [2] At 34, Waheed received the Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award for Outstanding Achievement as a Canadian Mid-Career Visual Artist. [7] She was shortlisted for the Sobey Art Award in 2016. [1][8]

Waheed's works are in the collections of the MoMA,[9] British Museum, the Devi Art Foundation, Samdani Art Foundation, the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, and the National Gallery of Canada.[10][2]
