Aysha Hamouda (she/they) is a Swiss-Tunisian artist based in the U.S.
Hamouda’s installations, lit by u.v. rays and constructed with threads, create perceptual experiences that exist between the tangible and the intangible, the definite and the hypothetical space. Through these works, she confront systems of order, rationality, logic, and the thought patterns that mount to ideology by presenting complex, yet contained, structures to the viewer. Hamouda create site-specific installations to investigate illusionary structures and what makes them "real."
She has exhibited her work nationally and internationally including Iceland, Germany, Switzerland, China, and the United States. Hamouda was part of Wavelength Reset, an international platform and traveling exhibition based in Shanghai, China, where two of her installations were exhibited at Times Art Museum in Beijing, and Artron Museum in Shenzhen in 2019.
Hamouda’s installation Each Body— A Vertiginous House was selected for the 2019 SpringBreak Art Show Fact and Fiction and exhibited at the U.N. Plaza in New York, NY. Hamouda’s series of four installations The Caves Project (Persephone) were shown as part of the larger Festival Altitudes’ exhibition in 2018, an annual art festival in Switzerland.
Recently, Hamouda’s solo show print(“Hello, World”), 2022, was on view at Ildiko Butler Gallery, through Fordham University in New York, NY.
Hamouda completed her MFA degree in Studio Arts (2018) at Syracuse University in upstate New York, where she currently teaches.
