Hussein Shikha
artist, designer, writer, and researcher
His work spans
experimental film, animation, textile, and
interactive installations. Hussein takes the
manipulation and transformation of the
southern Iraqi carpet—with all its philosophies—as a starting point to understand
design and art from Eastern and non-Eastern perspectives. His work has recently
been presented at iMAL, Brussels; Het Bos,
Antwerp; and Kunsthal Extra City, Antwerp.
