Gaby Sahhar is a French-British-Palestinian artist based in London and Paris. Their multidisciplinary practice, which encompasses painting, video, and installation, reflects a rejection of binaries. Sahhar’s work critically examines representations of queerness in the public sphere, exploring how these depictions influence queer consciousness and communities. Sahhar creates dialogue on themes such as migration, value systems, and assimilation within urban cultures. Using speculative storytelling, they illustrate the psychological and physical frameworks that challenge borders and identity. Their work delves into the tension between identity loss and resistance, shedding light on these complex and intersecting themes through archives and research.
