Ladin Awad
M.A. Arts Politics Class of 2021
BA Global Studies + Media Studies, The New School
Ladin Awad is an artist, curator and filmmaker based in NYC. Raised between the Bay Area and Sudan, her work seeks to abstract the narratives and histories through which cross-cultural Black diasporic life is viewed. Through a practice of image making and archival research, she charts the multidimensionality of Blackness, while exploring intimate expansions and interventions on collective relationships to movement, memory, and time.
Her work has been featured at the Queens Museum, El Museo del Barrio, MoCADA, Frieze New York as well as in publications like T Magazine, Fusion, OkayAfrica, and more. Ladin is also one of three founding members of Chroma, a creative studio that centers the work and perspectives of WOC.
