nadia h ali

(b.2002) is an artist, designer, writer & educator.

As a queer, multiracial, multiethnic artist, my practice AND MY LIFE is heavily informed by intersectionality.

Intersectionality and empathy has had a profound significance on how i have come to understand and continually create myself, as well as how i approach the transformmutation of theory into practice (also known as alchemy or making magic)

My work lies in exploring a the new frontier, identities. i’m fasinated by the in-betweens, productions and translations of identities, individually and interpersonally. i’m most connected when engaged in and facilitating media-based organizing, rhizomatic knowledge sharing, and generative critical action. i continue to dive deeper into the wreckage created by immigration and diasporic movements, exploring ruptures in lineage and tradition while strengthening bonds of solidarity. 


Guided by the belief in recognizing love and inherent worth in all living beings, my goal is to co-create a more joyful, liberated world by nurturing personal & collective agency in making change.
