Hayv Kahraman is a Kurdish-Iraqi painter whose work primarily deals with the body politics of migrant consciousness. Often blended with her personal history as a refugee to Europe and ultimately to the United States, she creates a unique visual language that reflects her nomadic background and challenges various notions of hegemonic control. Kahraman’s current and recent solo exhibitions include Look Me in the Eyes, Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco; Hayv Kahraman: The Foreign in Us, Rice University Moody Center For The Arts, Houston; Gut Feelings, The Mosaic Rooms, London; Touch of Otherness, SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah; and Superfluous Bodies and To the Land of the Waqwaq, Shangri La Museum of Islamic Art, Culture, and Design, Honolulu. Group exhibitions include The inescapable interweaving of all lives, Kunsthalle Düsseldorf; Women Defining Women in Contemporary Art of the Middle East and Beyond, LACMA, Los Angeles; and In the Heart of Another Country: The Diasporic Imagination in the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection, Deichtorhallen Hamburg. Kahraman’s work is in several important international collections including the British Museum, London; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; LACMA, Los Angeles; Birmingham Museum of Art, Alabama; and MATHAF: Arab Museum of Modern Art Doha, Qatar.
