SHEZAD DAWOOD is a multidisciplinary artist who interweaves stories, realities and symbolism to create richly layered artworks, spanning painting, textiles, sculpture, film and digital media. Fascinated by ecologies and architecture, his work takes a philosophical approach, asking questions and exploring alternative futures through what Dawood describes as ‘world-building’. His practice is animated by research, working with multiple audiences and communities to delve into narrative, history and embodiment. Dawood has exhibited at institutions including: MoMA, the ICA, WIELS, the Venice Biennale, Gwangju and Sharjah Biennales and Manifesta. Selected collections include: Guggenheim; Tate; LACMA; National Gallery of Canada; British Museum and Kiran Nadar Museum of Art.
