A defining voice of her generation of photographers, Farah Al Qasimi has built a practice that captures the dizzying relationship between material culture, globalized media, and contemporary society. A photographer, performer, musician, and video artist, Al Qasimi presents her work in vibrant and layered installations that speak to the collision of images in real and online spaces. Examining structures of power, gender, (post)coloniality, and consumer aesthetics in an interconnected world, her work often conveys an uncanny geography, both specific and placeless.

Al Qasimi (b. 1991, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; works in Abu Dhabi and Brooklyn) studied photography and music at Yale University in 2012 and received her MFA from the Yale School of Art in 2017. Recent solo presentations include the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth, AUS (2023); C/O Berlin, Germany (2023); Delfina Foundation, London, UK (2023); Plug In ICA, Winnipeg, Canada (2023); François Ghebaly, Los Angeles, USA (2022); the Abu Dhabi Cultural Foundation, UAE (2022); Esker Foundation, Calgary, Canada (2022); Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, MO, USA (2021); Houston Center for Photography (2019); and MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, USA (2019).

Al Qasimi's work is widely collected in public museums, including Tate Modern, London; Guggenheim New York and Abu Dhabi; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Art Jameel, Dubai; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
